With these new methods browser apps can differentiate cases where the browser can do something the browser’s specific behavior in response to the event (e.g. pull-to-refresh) and cases where the browser should not react to the event because the event was consumed in the web site (e.g. in canvas like web apps).

• Removed deprecated GeckoRuntime.registerWebExtension. Use WebExtensionController.install instead. ⚠️ - Changed GeckoView.onTouchEventForResult to return a GeckoResult, as it now makes a round-trip to Gecko. The result will be more accurate now, since how content treats the event is now considered.
