686480 - Skip unpackComponents step during startup

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Widget: Android, defect)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

unpackComponents takes a lot of time to run, and while it only runs the first time, it is bad to give a good first impression.

Bugs related to this that may have to be filed:
- extensions shipped in the apk aren't supported unless they are extracted, currently, which unpackComponents does. We should support extensions directly in the apk.
- we do a cleanup with what the removed-files contains. If we unpack nothing, we don't need that, but we will need to clean-up left overs from upgrades. We can however do that at any moment when we are idle.
- We unpack an update.locale file which I don't know what it is used for.

This was obsoleted by the removal of XUL Fennec in bug 847839.
