Details

This is a bug for tracking our WorkRunnable refactoring.
According to https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/FFXP-1949, the followings are the targets for this bug.

  • Eliminate cancellation from WorkerRunnables

  • Eliminate busy count in favor of just letting workerrefs and the existence of IPC actors keep a worker alive. Simplifies worker runnable too.

  • Distinguish WorkerRunnables meant to run on the worker thread from those meant to run on the main/parent thread by having a different base class (like WorkerParentRunnable), eliminating the need to have a (still) living worker when executed

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1799173 shows the defects of our current implementation. And Worker's lifecycle would be much simpler after this refactoring.
