There are no immediate plans to change or remove WebIDE. We are working on moving the device connection and debugging portion over to a new about:debugging tool. Like Julien mentioned, these parts of WebIDE can be used with many different devices, not just Firefox OS.
Once this work is completed, we may decide to remove WebIDE to reduce maintenance burden. I would not expect a decision on this until the second half of 2016, as there is still much work to be done moving the device connection pieces first. After the recent Firefox OS announcements, the DevTools team has relaxed their compatibility policies, so it's possible that older Firefox OS devices may no longer be debuggable by future desktop Firefox versions. If you are concerned about holding onto the ability to debug existing Firefox OS devices, you may want to archive a Firefox ESR release (or some other version of desktop Firefox) that currently supports your device. - Ryan On Sat, Feb 6, 2016 at 4:54 PM, Julien Wajsberg <[email protected]> wrote: > Le 04/02/2016 21:30, [email protected] a écrit : >> With the upcoming FxOS/WebRT end-of-life, I was wondering what will happen >> the WebIDE, since its fate has not been mentioned so far.
