I am writing an extension with the new WebExtension API but couldn't find an API to close/exit firefox cleanly. The closest I found was by closing all Tabs. However, that has a problem if developer's console is in open state. The firefox doesn't close entirely. I believe the old API system.exit() does not have that problem.
