Bug 1535365 - Disable extension process.

Now that we have at least some WebExtension support we should look into running extensions stuff in its own process similar to what desktop does.

P2 because an extension process is not a blocker for Fenix MVP.

A lot of the plumbing for this is similar to e10s so I'm going to block this on that.

Until Bug 1355239 is fixed we cannot leave this on, since it causes extensions to randomly die.

Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
Keywords: leave-open
Depends on: 1355239

We don't currently restart the extension process and this causes extensions to
randomly stop working when Android kills the extension process.

We can re-enable it once Bug 1355239 is fixed.

Extension process doesn't need to block Android Fission.

:agi, maybe it's time to close this bug?

The extension process is not required for Android Fission, but would be nice to have.
