713510 - do not stat contents of source control directories in extensions directory

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

after Bug 594058 files in extensions directory are statted too aggressively 
making startup slow if there are additional folders from version control or finder .DS_Store

skipping directories with name starting by . or _ will help developers without performance regression in common case when only .xpi-s are installed

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/XPIProvider.jsm#1315
should become if (aFile.isDirectory() && aFile.leafName[0] != ".") {

File like .DS_Store and version control shouldn't be in an add-on, I don't think the addon manager should be skipping dot-files altogether in any case.
