The code currently fires the callbacks and then returns if the alarm has been cancelled. This should be changed so that if the alarm has been cancelled it just returns immediately.

The code in question can be found at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/extensions/ext-alarms.js#51.

We should also attempt to write a test for this, but it may be difficult to test. The case is described as:

"It essentially requires setting an alarm that should fire almost immediately, spending enough time in the main thread without returning to the event loop that it fires, and then canceling it before returning to the event loop, and then making sure it doesn't fire."
