Webextensions API - does not support "persistent" property for background scripts. Is this going to be fixed at some point?

[st3...@gmail.com]

In the webextensions API documentation, it says:

"Firefox does not support the "persistent" property. Background scripts stay loaded all the time."

is this going to be fixed at some point, or is this a permanent, never going to be supported type thing?

This question would be better aimed at the addons list, so I'm redirecting
it.

Cheers!

I think it would be useful to do at some point, but we have no concrete
plans to work on it any time in the near future.
