How is that an enhancement? You want scripts to be stopped in the middle of their thing? That would be a bug not a feature

I'm closing this bug because we are not interested in actively deterring extensions from functioning. It is important for extensions to be resilient against sudden termination (e.g. due to process crashes caused by the OS or memory shortage), but we do not need nor want to unnecessarily force shutdowns on extensions.
We're tracking bugs that do the opposite of this bug, as dependencies of bug 1771203 (i.e. extending the lifetime where needed).
