Nothing could make me happier really. I’m not sure I can remember ever helping implement something which is will hopefully turn out to be a game changer for extension development in the future. The technical details of restartless extensions are <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extensions/Bootstrapped_extensions">talked about</a> in a <a href="https://www.oxymoronical.com/blog/2010/07/How-to-extend-the-new-Add-ons-Manager">few places</a> but one thing that is missing is what I think is probably going to be the most common code pattern in these extensions.</p>
