If we are choosing that approach, I wonder whether we should still have special
logic for Gecko. It could be:

  if (typeof browser.runtime.getBrowserInfo == "function")
    set popup conditionally, not for fennec
  else
    set popup unconditionally

I was hoping to restrict this to Gecko only to avoid any unintended side
effects, but I guess it's OK to make it generic. I've made the change and tested
it on Firefox (desktop and mobile) and Chrome now and it works OK.

Done.
