 Thanks! The patches look good to me, overall, and I'm fine with taking
 these patches as-is.

 Is there a reason for not using `MOZ_PROXY_BYPASS_PROTECTION` instead of
 defining a new `JSON_POLICIES_ONLY`? The latter is definitely more
 explicit about why it is defined, so I see some benefit for us in using
 `JSON_POLICIES_ONLY`, but I wonder if there is another reason as well.

 I agree Mozilla likely won't directly accept this patch, but that's okay.
