381362 - need to be able to install microsummary without immediately kicking off http traffic

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Microsummaries, defect)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

when performing migrations of bookmarks which happen early in the startup process, we need to be able to install microsummary generators without having the service immediately go fetch the generator.

aside from the TS effect, this also results in issues like bug 380468.

possibly, this means modifying the microsummary service to support the event in bug 363634.
