openUILinkIn code looks unused https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/1410bb760a5e77236b74999807f5500bd285a57d/devtools/client/netmonitor/src/app.js#35-39 "toolbox-panel-iframe-netmonitor" looks like the element no longer exists, unless this is added by an extension or dynamically? openUILinkIn with two params also now throws an exception.

This looks to me like safe code we can remove? I see the function itself the code is generating appears to be passed around a lot. Should all of this be removed?

This allows the user to open links stored e.g. in HTTP headers, Cookies, HTTP responses, etc. by clicking on them. You can e.g. try "Referer" HTTP header. Here is the function that eventually calls the 'openLink' callback. https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html/blob/e7f212ee3916d97c799549b6b89cb43fbc1ce34f/packages/devtools-reps/src/reps/string.js#L209 > "toolbox-panel-iframe-netmonitor" looks like the element no longer exists, > unless this is added by an extension or dynamically? This element represents the iframe the Net monitor UI lives in. (created dynamically) > openUILinkIn with two params also now throws an exception. Yes, this sounds like a bug. I am seeing: Error: Required argument triggeringPrincipal missing within openUILinkIn Is this the exception you are seeing? Honza

It looks like we should use: top.openWebLinkIn(link, "tab"); ...instead of `openUILinkIn` Honza

> It looks like we should use: Yup just couldn't figure out if the code was being used. We should probably do a follow up bug to write a test for this functionality so it doesn't happen again.
