STR:

  • install a local add-on
  • open a toolbox for it from about:debugging
  • change add-on's manifest.json to introduce a typo in the JSON
  • request the add-on reload from the toolbox

Current result: nothing happens. The add-on isn't reloaded. The reinstall actually fails because of the typo, but the exception isn't shown anywhere.

Expected result: Show the manifest typo exception in DevTools when hitting the reload button.
