This helper only runs things when the user is not using the machine (not just Firefox). Due to the multiple meanings of "idle" used in various API names (viz. ChromeUtils.idleDispatch() referring to whether gecko/firefox has stuff to do before the next paint / rendering tick), this is not obvious. We should rename the method so it's more obvious, and in bug 1651161 evaluate which of the tasks that we run this way actually need/want to be run when the user is not using the machine, and/or if it's acceptable if they never end up getting run (which may currently happen).

I'm just going to go ahead and take this, in lieu of giving it a priority.
