Comment:

 For the record: It turns out that using getFirstPartyURI fails with a
 weird exception here (NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_GET_PARAM_IFACE_INFO). I decided
 to update this bug with a modified version of the patch anyway in case
 either mcs or brade have any ideas why this API would fail here. As far as
 I can tell, it's throwing that exception before the C++ is even invoked
 :/.
