1037767 - Use straight nsIChannel instead of nsIIncrementalDownload for GMPInstallManager

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1264173

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy]]

rstrong mentioned in bug 1009816 that it would be better to use a straight channel from uri download instead of using incremental-downloader. 

Since bug 1009816 is time critical, and it's currently working and well tested with incremental downloader, doing this work is being moved to this lower priority bug which won't be done for FF33.

If we end up obsoleting GMPInstallManager at some point, then this bug can be closed.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1009816 +++
