Comment:
The underlying reason for this is that (a) the ApplicableList data
structures used to populate the context menu are attached to
nsIDOMWindows; (b) a new nsIDOMWindow is created when the error occurs;
(c) naively, we don't seem to learn the URI that caused the error from
within the error window.
Probably the easiest way forward would be to find a way around (c).
Followed by finding a way to bridge across the information loss at (b).
Getting (a) to work at all was a nightmare that I do not wish to revisit.
