the js engine uses it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1298451 but nspr stopped using it or never used it, there's only a reference to pthread_set_name_np: https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/file/tip/pr/src/pthreads/ptthread.c#l1759 PR_GetThreadName (just below) returns the 'local' name value, and doesnt get it from the system.
