Remote Simple
• Where do I start... I just spent the past 20 plus hours diagnosing and fixing an issue that popped up from nowhere; the Mozilla examples just stopped working. Unfortunately, this coincided with changes I recently made to my working environment, making it that much more difficult to narrow down the problem.
• After an insane amount of trial and error, Google searches, and a ton of dry reading, I was able to determine that Mozilla made a setting change to their remote debugging protocol, which only took effect after installing the latest update.

Additional Documentation
➤ Utilities and articles that helped narrow down the problem.
• Firefox > Help > More troubleshooting information.
• F12 (Developer Tools) > Settings > Advanced settings.
• https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org ... Prefs.html
• https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org ... Usage.html

Remote Command

Firefox Support
Commands and parameters may be different or not available as Mozilla only implemented a subset of the DevTools Protocol.

Search and Reset Options

• Include the search selection as a static browser option.
• Manually add/modify browser options from json\browsers.
