Comment (by sysrqb):
Unsurprisingly, this is not as easy as expected. My hope was we could use
the built-in "Gecko:Ready" message which is dispatched after Gecko
initializes. At that point, we could restart Gecko and complete the
extension installation. However, there is a race condition here. The
extensions are install async so the Gecko:Ready message is sent before the
extensions are fully installed.
We'll need a better method of detecting when the extension installation
process is complete. I'll try a more naive solution now: on any dispatched
message, check if there is a staged extension and restart Gecko if there
is one.
