This has been changed as of Bug 1375280. In local builds the Browser Toolbox can now be opened without any extra configuration or prompting. The best ways to open it are either `./mach run --jsdebugger` or using the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+alt+shift+i / cmd+opt+shift+i).
About security: this change only applies to local builds, but it's important to know that Browser Toolbox communicates with a debugging server that allows chrome privileged code execution. The server is only accessible from the loopback interface and doesn’t start until one of these things happen:
1) You request the Browser Toolbox opens from the UI
2) The process is started with --jsdebugger which opens the Browser Toolbox at startup
3) The process is started with --start-debugger-server <PORT> which starts the server but not the Browser Toolbox
