This additional change is also needed to make it paint:

-      fl.addCrossProcessEventListener("MozAfterPaint", true);
+      fl.activateFrameEvent("MozAfterPaint", true);

we are removing some of the hackiness here:

And because of the changes (Bug 549693, Bug 549884) to the messageManager, some hackiness in http://hg.mozilla.org/users/pavlov_mozilla.com/mobile-e10s/ can be removed ;)

we have reduced the hackiness by 233%.  The goal of this bug is to merge http://hg.mozilla.org/users/pavlov_mozilla.com/mobile-e10s/ back into the mobile-browser.
