1662797 - Implement live update for top site remote settings

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Top Sites, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Dão Gottwald [:dao]]

Currently when getting new data from remote settings, we'd update the default top sites after a restart. This is fine for the initial release but eventually we'd like to do live updates on idle. Should be pretty easy to implement.
