903217 - Blackbox common libraries by default

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Description

[Nick Fitzgerald [:fitzgen] [⏰PST; UTC-8]]

We should white list a set of URLs or hosts or filenames to be automatically black boxed by the debugger.

This should probably be toggle-able via the options panel, too.

I think it would be best to implement this feature client-side so that we didn't have to extend the protocol with anymore configuration options, if we can get away with it.

This feels like a scenario-solution. I think I'd prefer a header or pragma to this approach.

There are two related bugs.

Comment 4

[Eddy Bruel [:ejpbruel]]

I agree with Yehuda on this. I vote to wontfix this and adopt the approach in 905263 instead.

Anyone in favor/against this?

Comment 5

[Eddy Bruel [:ejpbruel]]

Note that 905263 is about implementing a blackbox directive for sources. Bug 905859 is about implementing a blackbox http header, which is complemtentary to that.

We automatically blackbox minified sources already, which pretty much covers this too.
