Did:

- so much email

- took off the week between xmas and new-year

- researched root cause of #15599 ( Range requests used by pdfjs are not isolated to URL bar domain )

XMLHttpRequest object derives the firstPartyDomain (and other various attributes) from a generic nsIGlobalObject object passed in, normally this is an nsIWindow associated somehow with the JS context, but for the rangeRequest in the Web Worker the method used for creating the request just passes in a generic global object associated with the system principal (which is why we get put on the default circuit)

- investigated a couple of possible avenues to resolving via changing: pdf.js, Web Worker code,

pdf.js : XMLHttpRequest doesn't seem to support overwriting the firstPartyDomain via JS so dosn't seem to be much we can do here

Web Worker : actually has a copy of the firstPartyDomain and friends associated with it, but we seem to lose the association by the time the JS is running

This week:

- investigate how we can get the window or worker actually associated with the running JS; comments in the code suggest there is a way to do so, they just opted to use a generic global because it was easier

boklm: since december 18: - published the 7.5a10 release - worked on #24514, #23892, #23911, #24197 - took some time off this week: - work on getting windows builds away from precise (#18691) - look at the Win64 nsis build issue (#23561) - start looking at the work for having tor-browser-nightly updates (#18867)

Have been working on Spectre/Meltdown work

Going to send an intent to implement on the canvas permission prompt to Mozilla to gather feedback: https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/165

Would like to work on more MinGW build stuff; but Spectre stuff will take priority
