Comment (by mcs):

 The revised patch looks OK.  My only nit is to avoid checks like boolVar
 == false.  Please change the line that uses that kind of test to:

   if ((aDataLen > kLargeDatasetSize) && !aIsPrivBrowsing) {

 (I think a simple ! test is more consistent with code elsewhere in
 nsTransferable.cpp and with other Mozilla code).

 Have you tested the fix?  I am not sure how difficult it would be to add
 automated tests to ensure that the fix does not break in the future, but
 Mozilla will want them.  That could be addressed in a separate bug though.
