New about:debugging aims to sunset: | |
- old about:debugging | |
- WebIDE | |
- Connect... page | |
Most documentation pages for those applications screens will have to be updated/modified to describe the experience using the new about:debugging. For WebIDE: | |
- some features are not going to be in the MVP of the new about:debugging | |
- some features will not be ported | |
- some features have already been dropped from WebIDE but are still documented (eg, everything about developping apps or debugging Firefox OS) | |
About:debugging documentation: | |
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/about:debugging will need to be updated with new screenshots | |
WebIDE documentation: | |
- Troubleshooting https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/WebIDE/Troubleshooting. Should prepare an equivalent for about:debugging new. Some sections are outdated: #Unable_to_load_project_list and #Enable_logging | |
- homepage https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/WebIDE | |
Outdated, mentions of Firefox OS | |
- runtimes https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/WebIDE/Setting_up_runtimes | |
Outdated, mentions of Firefox OS, Simulators, and Valence. Points to some dead links `point it to a custom Desktop B2G build`. This section seems useful: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/WebIDE/Setting_up_runtimes#Remote_runtime | |
- everything should go when we | |
Connect page: | |
It looks like we recommend it for debugging Thunderbird: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging/Thunderbird | |
Need to get in touch with Thunderbird folks to see if they use it. | |
Also recommended to debug Firefox Desktop: | |
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging/Debugging_Firefox_Desktop | |
Remote debugging documentation: | |
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging/ | |
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging/Debugging_Firefox_Desktop | |
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging/Debugging_Firefox_for_Android_with_WebIDE | |
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging/Debugging_Firefox_for_Android_over_Wifi | |
Valence documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Valence has a deprecation notice, but still a lot of details? We should probably remove it, maybe just leave the deprecation notice? | |
The "Connecting the devtools" section in the "Related Topics" needs updating: | |
- about:debugging -> is fine | |
- Connecting to Firefox for Android -> directly points to the WiFi documentation, should probably point to something more generic | |
- Connecting to iframes -> this is a toolbox feature | |
- Connecting to other browsers -> we are not supporting this, it should be less visible |
