Since WebExtensions is a seperate process from Firefox, how can we relaunch WebExtensions process alone?

I would like to relaunch WebExtensions process to see, if WebExtensions process is responsible for reloading-re-reading the extensions from the firefox extensions folder. (/lib/firefox/browser/extensions) 

What is the correct way to do that?

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that's possible. I'm pretty sure that the process controlling WebExtensions is connected to the main Firefox process, so that needs to be open.
