One suggestion from dveditz that came out of the security review
is to include a flag in about:support to indicate when the remote
agent is listening (is active).

Why don't we show the robot icon and orange-striped locationbar as what we do with Marionette? Was there a disagreement for that?

That is tracked in bug 1526364.

This also needs to wait for bug 1543115 because it makes some changes to the nsIRemoteAgent interface.

Actually we can land it with the plain URL (without the main target’s WebSocket) first.
I’ll follow up on exposing the main target’s URL with bug 1595073 after this is fixed.

The remote agent is a forthcoming new low-level debugging interface in
Gecko. This constant will tell toolkit code that the feature is enabled.

The remote.enabled preference informs the user whether the remote
agent is enabled, i.e. "available to use", in the current Gecko runtime.

This adds a new remote agent section at the bottom of about:support.
This section displays useful troubleshooting information regarding
the remote agent.
The remote agent is a forthcoming low-level debugging interface
to Gecko. Because it exposes browser-internals to the surrounding
system we need a clear way for the user to find if it is listening
for browser-external connections.
The table, entitled "Remote Agent", contains the following new
information:
Listening whether the HTTPD is listening for incoming connections
URL connection endpoint for clients
