Hi there, as Ben mentioned there is a new effort from the devtools team to provide tools for debugging the new features that platform is building.
IIRC, Eddy is working on the new tools under about:debugging that will be the umbrella for debugging addons, workers, serviceworkers, etc. We still don't have it available for FxOS, so IMO, we should keep the current implementation in Settings that provide basic functionality for developers, and remove that implementation as soon about:debugging is available for Firefox OS. Cheers, F.
