I started trying to write a Firefox extension that makes HTTP requests outside of the proxy settings. I have one that works in Iceweasel 24.3 and does the Host header trick used by the transport. However it doesn't work in Tor Browser, and I'm looking for some insight as to why it might be so.

I started https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/11183 for development of the browser extension. XUL and XPCOM experts are invited to comment.
