Comment (by gk):

 Yes, that's due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536509. I
 think what we want to do is having kind of 2 tests:

 1) The test running while e.g. third party cookies are enabled (to make
 sure we can test our isolation technique.
 2) The test catching the exception in a way that it succeeds as long as it
 throws where it throws right now.
