Comment (by mcs):

 This bug is caused by a Mozilla change that I was worried about when I
 first saw it:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159090#c4

 Kathy and I are making a Linux build of our own right now to verify that
 backing out the Bugzilla 1159090 change fixes this ticket. Later we can
 work on a better fix that Mozilla will accept.
