Description (last modified by mjethani)

Background

We decided to use tabs.removeCSS specifically only on Firefox, because Chromium's implementation was likely to be different and possibly initially buggy. We now know that the API is going to be the same, with the following differences in behavior:

  1. An extension can only remove its own style sheets
  2. Injecting the same style sheet twice is not an error, instead a duplicate copy is injected; removing a style sheet only removes the last injected copy

Once the API is in Canary and is stable, we should start using it.

What to change

  1. Remove the check for Gecko in lib/cssInjection.js, instead use feature detection
  2. Since Chrome injects multiple copies instead of throwing an error, take care not to inject a duplicate (for this we may have to remove first instead of adding first as we are doing now)
