Details

In particular, there was nothing to indicate why my attempted port of the Chrome extension "Earth View from Google Earth" failed, because it was calling chrome.runtime.onInstalled which is defined to be `ignoreEvent()`
(at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/extensions/ext-runtime.js#40) and ignoreEvent doesn't say what happened (at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/extensions/ExtensionUtils.jsm#233).  ignoreEvent shouldn't throw an error, I don't think, but it would be nice if it told us what it was ignoring, so that we could get a list of things we needed to add/fix.
