734822 - Fx13 nightly stop compatibility check slow

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[dindog]

I switch same profile from nightly to aurora and beta now and then, and every times version changed, Firefox will check compatibility of installed addon, and I just cancel it every times. 

Fx13 nightly won't stop right after I click "cancel", but a few seconds after that.

[Blair McBride [:Unfocused] (UNAVAILABLE)]

Yea, that was intentional, as part of the fix for bug 718630. It's waiting now because it has to wait for a network request to finish - not waiting breaks things (bug 718630), and we can't cancel it yet. 

I have a rough plan that could allow canceling that request, but it requires partially rewriting a component (AddonRepository.jsm) :( So I don't think there's anything that can be done in the short-term.
