1823432 - Keep event pages alive for Native Messaging on Android

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(GeckoView :: Extensions, task, P1)

Description

[Cathy Lu [:calu]]

In bug 1770696, logic was added to make sure that the event page does not shut down early when there is an open connection to a nativeMessaging application. While Firefox for Android does not support third-party nativeMessaging like desktop, it does offer the nativeMessaging API to allow (privileged) extensions to connect with GV/embedders. In these cases, the event page should also be kept alive.

We need to make the Native Messaging API compatible with event pages for M1 because the built-in Firefox Accounts WebChannel and WebCompat Reporter extensions use Native Messaging.
