Allow manual reloading, when using --no-reload option

[paulkamer]

Is this a feature request or a bug?

Feature request

What is the current behavior?

Running web-ext with --no-reload works as advertised, but no longer offers a way to manually force a reload (by typing "R").

What is the expected or desired behavior?

Running web-ext with --no-reload should still offer a way to manually force a reload:

Press R to reload (and Ctrl-C to quit)

Version information (for bug reports)

• Firefox version: 53
• Your OS and version: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (xenial)
• Paste the output of these commands:

v6.3.1 3.10.8 1.9.1

Oh yeah, that seems useful. Thanks for filing.

I think --no-reload may get simulated internally for older Firefoxes that don't support reloading -- just something to be aware of for anyone works on this issue. Maybe it won't pose a problem though.

It would also be great to allow a way to externally trigger the build. Perhaps listening for a POSIX signal like USR1?

Any chances of implementing this feature?

I didn't know that Ctrl-R is disabled with --no-reload (https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext/issues/1758#issuecomment-557111582 ). It seems reasonable to implement it.
