Replying to [comment:13 mcs]:
> As far as we can tell, that `InvalidateCache()` method is only called in
response to a `startupcache-invalidate` observer notification. But we
don't see a place where that is generated after an update or if one were
to install new bits over the top of an existing browser.
In `startup()` in `toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/XPIProvider.jsm`,
it seems that a `startupcache-invalidate` notification is sent if
`flushCaches` is true:
{{{
let flushCaches = this.checkForChanges(aAppChanged, aOldAppVersion,
aOldPlatformVersion);
}}}
And it seems that it is looking at the `AppVersion` and `PlatformVersion`
to decide that.
I see that the prefs `extensions.lastAppVersion` and
`extensions.lastPlatformVersion` are both set to `60.1.0`, which didn't
change between `8.0a9` and `8.0a10`.
