 Replying to [comment:2 mikeperry]:
 > Hrm, is this module being marked deprecated sounds ominous... Is Mozilla
 planning on removing the ability to launch executables entirely? MDN
 doesn't seem to say anything about that..

 I would not be worried about that much. See the AMO guidelines for
 reviewers:
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/AMO:Editors/EditorGuide/AddonReviews Step 2 Row
 Using nsIProcess (no sign of deprecation).

 All these "Illegal or deprecated" bugs filed recently are due to running
 our extensions through this validator script. Handling nsIProcess this way
 has been done so for years and back then when I've been doing reviews I
 always had the feeling that's just as a warning sign as Bad Things May
 Happen (that's the reason as well with it should trigger an Admin Review).
