'''DevTools Shim''' is responsible for installing the DevTools add-on as needed.  The Shim will auto-install the add-on for existing DevTools users by default.  The Shim is listening to the DevTools keyboard shortcuts and provides install methods at other various entry points like about:debugging.  When a new user presses a DevTools keyboard shortcut Firefox will prompt them, asking if they want to install DevTools.  If a developer responds yes the DevTools add-on will be installed and will update itself in the background from that point on.
