648124 - Cache bootstrap.js scripts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 648125

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Currently we use loadSubScript which doesn't cache the parsed JS like XUL JS is. We could save startup time by doing this.

I'd also like to see these loaded into BackstagePass globals rather than Sandboxes, along with a requisite way to create said globals from JS. Sandboxes come with too much baggage, including a needless array of proxies for objects which pass in or out of them (and break things like E4X).

Should file a new bug about that, I wasn't really aware of any of those issues.
