Context
Firefox on Windows has 2 launch modes:
sub-process
Firefox has a logic to detect how successful was the use of the
launcher process to do self-recovery when things go wrong. Namely:
of the attempt beginning
firefox records another timestamp of the completion
On a new launch, firefox checks what timestamps are present. If there's
a timestamp that signifies start of launcher process, but no successful
timestamp, it decides that last "launcher process" use was not
successful and falls back to launching browser right away.
Bug Investigation
When launching 2 firefox processes right away, the first process
uses attempts to use launcher process and records the first timestamp.
At the same time, the second instance sees the first timestamp and
doesn't see the second timestamp, and falls back to launching browser
right away. Our debugging pipe code, however, does not support
non-launcher-process code path.
Summary
This patch adds support for remote debugging pipe in case of
non-launcher-process startup.
Drive-by:
it kills incremental compilation
