Improve Firefox automatic update CSS inconsistency

Open marcustyphoon opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Concept

As noted in discussion #1353, when Firefox pulls a new extension update, changes to scripts' static stylesheets aren't applied until one opens a new tab (while changes to script code and dynamic stylesheets are, potentially leading to temporary inconsistent behavior).

Not sure we actually have a method to improve this (obviously besides using only style elements, which does have some significant advantages), but even if that's the case it seems worth having an issue filed.

You wanna know what's really scaring me? The link-element-pointing-to-a-css-file-in-the-extension-package method, when loaded via web-ext run, doesn't even show changes when I press refresh on the page. I have to command-shift-R. Surely that can't reflect the real update experience... right?
