For the last few years, mochitests have run in special extension
scopes, which did things like interpose them with e10s shims and
allow them to use unsafe CPOWs. As of today, those extension
scopes no longer exist, and neither the mochitest harness nor
the tests it runs have access to unsafe CPOWs.
Existing tests that still rely on unsafe CPOWs have been whitelisted
with the "uses-unsafe-cpows" annotation in their manifest. Please *do
not* add this annotation (or permitCPOWsInScope calls) to new tests.
If you add this annotation to any new tests[1], and I find out[2], I
will disable those tests without notice.
Thanks.

[1]: Yes, even if the CPOW use is in existing code that's used by other
tests. Yes, even if you're copying and modifying an existing test. Yes,
even if it's so much more convenient.
[2]: And I will.
