 A lot of our fingerprinting patches depend upon the accuracy is
 nsContentUtils::IsCallerChrome() to determine if it is content window or
 browser chrome accessing fingerprinting information.

 IsCallerChrome() kind of scares me, and has had issues for unexpected
 contexts like WebWorkers (See #13027).

 We should keep a close eye on this as we transition to e10s support post
 FF38, as who knows that the child/parent context relationship changes may
 do to various codepaths.
