1748524 - support event page background script startup

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Shane Caraveo (:mixedpuppy)]

Support starting back the background script again once an existing persisted event listener gets triggered when the background is not running.

Tied to availability of event pages, which is tied to manifest v3 pref (we may lift the restriction when we feel it ready and agreed to backport it to MV2)
