Details

In Bug 1498103, we are navigating to "This Firefox" if a user is currently debugging a remote device but the device disconnects.

STRs:
- enable new about debugging
- enable USB debugging
- connect to Firefox on Android
- Show runtime page for Firefox for Android
- unplug phone

This can be disturbing for the user, as they might not notice the navigation. We should improve the UX here in order to let the user know that the device disconnected.

Some options:
- show a blocking modal before navigating
- remain on the remote runtime page with all controls disabled + a "disconnected" message
