Andreas Tolfsen 6625f0d1e9 bug 1533831: remote: remove browser.fission.simulate pref; r=ochameau,yulia
The browser.fission.simulate preference has been split
into two preferences: fission.frontend.simulate-events and
fission.frontend.simulate-messages.

The remote agent briefly used the child actor system from the
Firefox frontend code when we prototyped the initial remote agent,
but it no longer relies on it.  This means we can drop the reference
to browser.fission.simulate altogether.

README

The Firefox remote agent is a low-level debugging interface based
on the CDP protocol.

With it, you can inspect the state and control execution of documents
running in web content, instrument Gecko in interesting ways,
simulate user interaction for automation purposes, and debug
JavaScript execution.

This component provides an experimental and partial implementation
of a remote devtools interface using the CDP protocol and transport
layer.

See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/remote/ for documentation.

The remote agent is not by default included in Firefox builds.  To
build it, put this in your mozconfig:

	ac_add_options --enable-cdp

This exposes a --remote-debugger flag you can use to start the
remote agent:

	% ./mach run --remote-debugger
