786858 - Installs/changes to restartless addons shouldn't set PREF_PENDING_OPERATIONS

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Blair McBride [:Unfocused] (UNAVAILABLE)]

Installing or changing the state of a restartless addon results in XPIProvider.updateAddonDisabledState() to set PREF_PENDING_OPERATIONS - which in the next restart will cause us to go through the slow path of processFileChanges(). Most (or all?) of the time this should be unnecessary.

Regardless of whether the pref is set, the file mtime change will trigger us to go through the slow path anyway

Comment 2

[Blair McBride [:Unfocused] (UNAVAILABLE)]

Oh, right.

Though, I think solving that is as easy as just updating the mtime in extensions.installCache.
