Steps to reproduce:

I'm trying to write a script manager using Web Extensions. The problem I'm running to is there isn't a way to reliably inject user scripts on to the page at document start, due to the asynchronous nature of the browser.storage API ya'll ripped from Chrome. I can solve this problem with some sort of synchronous global storage accessible to content scripts on all pages across all websites.
