Actually, let me try to clarify this a bit.
The way I would imagine logic like this being implemented is something like:
dispatchPageHide(true);
flagPageFrozen();
with the flagPageFrozen() call making it so that further event dispatch
is impossible.
If that is in fact the case, then logic like this:
dispatchPageHide(true);
setVisibility("hidden"); // happens to fire an event
flagPageFrozen();
should generally work fine; this is in fact more or less what Gecko
does, if we ignore the "pagehide makes the page not cacheable" complication.
So how does your setup differ in a way that actually makes this
impossible to implement?
