Comment (by mcs):

 Arthur, thanks for the detailed explanation. Kathy and I understand the
 code now. But we are seeing an assertion failure in the new code inside
 ThirdPartyUtil::GetFirstPartyURIInternal() during browser startup with a
 Mac OS debug build:
  Assertion failure: IsElement(), at
 ../../../dist/include/mozilla/dom/Element.h:1369
 I will attach a stack trace, but the short story is that
 ThirdPartyUtil::GetFirstPartyIsolationURI() is being called from
 nsContentUtils::LoadImage(). The image URI is moz-
 anno:favicon:https://www.torproject.org/images/favicon.ico#-moz-
 resolution=16,16

 Maybe you need to add an IsElement() call before calling AsElement()?
