Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 1. In the former patch, I was trying to turn on precompilation of the
 startup cache, a step in `make package`. When the startup cache is
 precompiled, it masks file:// URLs and provides resource:// URLs instead.
 Unfortunately, I discovered that precompilation simply doesn't work when
 the build is cross compiled, because in order to cross compile, we need a
 native version of xpcshell. In order to get this native version, we would
 need to run a separate native linux build of mozilla-central. This seemed
 awkward and unnecessarily slow.

 2. I don't know why it isn't working on the gitian build. What is the text
 you see on the test website? I will try to reproduce that here, but as I
 am traveling today it may not get a chance until tomorrow.
