1073976 - XPIProvider should use AsyncShutdown to shut down bootstrap add-ons during quit-application-granted

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[:Irving Reid (No longer working on Firefox)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1059674 +++

The XPI Provider shuts down bootstrap add-ons in quit-application-granted, a little before profile-before-change... http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/5e704397529b/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/XPIProvider.jsm#l2174

We should switch from the Observer to an AsyncShutdown blocker and report which add-on we are shutting down to the AsyncShutdown status in case of timeout.

Note that this is a case where we'd rather not have the the browser crash if the shutdown times out; much better to report the offending add-on and continue shutting down.
