736100 - Make JS Schedule API work in the console

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[David Teller [:Yoric] - still alive but not very active]

The JS Schedule API (see bugs 736095 and bug 692420) is designed to work from privileged code. It may be useful to make it web-compliant, as are Promises, so as to allow it to work in all contexts where devtools work.

This means:
- detecting that we are not executed in privileged code;
- if so, using another mechanism for importing Promise.jsm (there may already be one available);
- if so, using |window.setTimeout| instead of the current timer;
- using |var| instead of |let|.

JS Schedule API will probably be fully reimplemented. Closing this bug for the moment.
