Comment (by acat):

 What should we do about this one? It looks like we would need to enable
 JIT in webextensions apart from wasm to avoid this issue in HTTPS
 Everywhere (or try to improve the perf. on the JS side of HTTPS
 Everywhere, which I don't know if it's possible). I guess doing the wasm
 patch took some effort for tom, I'm not sure how feasible would it be to
 do a patch for JIT enabled for webextensions...
