Details

You know this code better than I do; but it seems like the 'Complete' set of messages that are sent in response to a variety of messages are not listened for and not used for anything...

Those "Extension:*Complete" mm messages are currently being listener for internally by the extension.broadcast method here:

The calls related to those events are the following ones (searchfox query):

  • StartupComplete and ShutdownComplete are being used by Extension.jsm while we are starting up and shutting down an extension
  • FlushJarCacheComplete is only used in tests
  • RegisterContentScritpt is used internally by both the contentScripts and userScripts APIs

Coolio! I think this is Invalid then, if you agree feel free to close!

Yep, I just wanted to be sure that the details in comment 1 were enough to be able to properly close the loop.

Thanks for quickly confirming that we can closing this as invalid also from your perspective.
