Comment:

 r=brade,r=mcs
 The code looks good and we tested it on macOS.

 Kathy and I agree that we should try to handle this via some migration
 code next time.

 One question: would it also work to remove the `addonStartup.json.lz4`
 file? If I remember correctly it is a cache that would get rebuilt based
 on the installed addons.
