Firefox Restartless Addon: Errors Logged on Enable/Disable

I have been testing and when a Bootstrapped/Restartless Addon is enabled or disabled, a number of errors are logged relating to other addons.

Duplicate resource declaration for 'specialpowers' ignored. chrome.manifest:32
Duplicate resource declaration for 'gre-resources' ignored. chrome.manifest:33
Duplicate resource declaration for 'services-sync' ignored. components.manifest:163
Duplicate resource declaration for 'services-common' ignored. components.manifest:165
Duplicate resource declaration for 'services-crypto' ignored. components.manifest:166
Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Firefox/chrome.manifest'.
Duplicate resource declaration for 'pdf.js' ignored. pdfjs.manifest:1
Duplicate resource declaration for 'lazarus' ignored. chrome.manifest:49
Duplicate resource declaration for 'clippings' ignored. chrome.manifest:9
Duplicate resource declaration for 'greasemonkey' ignored. chrome.manifest:15

Duplicate resource declaration for 'textmulticopy' ignored. chrome.manifest:7
Duplicate resource declaration for 'imdbplus' ignored. chrome.manifest:9
Duplicate resource declaration for 'rpnethelper' ignored.  chrome.manifest:9

On enabling the restartless addon:

Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Firefox/browser/extensions/%7B972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd%7D/chrome.manifest'.

I have tried different Restartless addon and all log similar errors (from other sources) on enable/disable. The errors do not appear to affect the operation of Firefox or the addons.

What are these?

What are these?

Noise. Really, disregard all of those.

  • Those "Duplicate Resource" warnings are due to the way Firefox (re-)loads manifests.
  • "Could not read chrome manifest" in the installation directory is because the platform supports having a manifest in the installation directory but Firefox doesn't use this capability (anymore).
  • The Service.Metrics.Provider ones are related to the performance metrics Firefox collects and may send to mozilla if you opted-in. That thing doesn't really know how to deal with certain add-on types, and hence the warnings.
  • The 972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd manifest warning is the default theme. I didn't even know it is still around. Probably a left-over from installing Firefox back when and upgrading afterwards.
  • And then there is something trying to load a DownThemAll! 3.0 file, which isn't present.
