Preferences

There are a couple of preferences associated with the Gecko remote protocol:

marionette.debugging.clicktostart

Delay server startup until a modal dialogue has been clicked to allow time for user to set breakpoints in the Browser Toolbox.

marionette.log.level (deprecated)

This preference used to control the verbosity of the Marionette specific logger. Marionette is now using the shared Remote logger, please see remote.log.level in the Remote Agent Preferences documentation.

marionette.log.truncate (deprecated)

This preference used to control whether long messages were truncated or not. Marionette is now using the shared Remote format module, please see remote.log.truncate in the Remote Agent Preferences documentation.

marionette.port

Defines the port on which the Marionette server will listen. Defaults to port 2828.

This can be set to 0 to have the system atomically allocate a free port, which can be useful when running multiple Marionette servers on the same system. The effective port is written to the user preference file when the server has started and is also logged to stdout.
