Attached patch fix (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Since we depend on this heart beat to handle desktop restarts, we can decrease update restart wait times by polling faster.

Flagged for testing and verification.
Flags: needinfo?(kamiljoz)
Went through the following verification/testing and used the following nightly build:
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014-02-20-03-02-02-mozilla-central/

This is almost impossible to directly test so I went through some basic test cases to make sure the browser is still being launched/updated and restarted without any obvious regressions.

- Ensured that fxmetro restarts correctly after an update has been applied and "Restart to Update" is selected (4MB update)
- Ensured that fxmetro restarts correctly after an update has been applied and "Restart to Update" is selected (38MB update)
- Ensured fxmetro is launched every single time if it was the last environment used before closing
- Ensured fxdesktop is launched every single time if it was the last environment used before closing
- Ensured that the latest Nightly build is being launched without any issues
- Ensured that you can still switch between fxmetro and fxdesktop without any issues
- Ensured there's no performance issues when launching the browser (noticeable jank, slowdowns, flickers etc..)

Used the following builds for the updating portion of testing:
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014-02-18-03-02-02-mozilla-central/
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014-02-19-03-02-03-mozilla-central/
