Process information is updated only once after a Firefox update (restart) #73

Within the last days a change must have happened so that the CPU values are no longer updated. All have a value of 0.0 and as such each and every process is grayed out. Maybe some change to GetProcessInfo or WebExtensions has been landed within the last week?

Ok, the problem here doesn't seem to be a change in the GetProcessInfo implementation but that the process information is updated only once. The above screenshot was the very first update after a restart of Firefox and as such it reported 0.0 for every process and thread.

Closing and opening the sidebar will show that one single update is happening for the current state but then the values in the sidebar are no longer updated. Using the webext node.js package to test the extension works as well. It's my daily profile that is affected here.

Restarting Firefox again made the issue go away. Means there is some startup glitch in setting the timer to read the process data most likely.
