TL;DR a few hours ago, Bug 1443925
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443925> merged into
central, making nsIPrincipal safe to use from multiple threads. Most
nsIPrincipal APIs are now threadsafe, though you should check the
updated documentation in nsIPrincipal.idl
<https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/d9c24252e2b25e4b3eaecfbf6110c27539e47dcd/caps/nsIPrincipal.idl#l56>
for the methods you're interested in (at time of writing searchfox is
still updating).
Woooooooooooooooo!
Thank you so much for all your work on this major undertaking, both on
the recent bug and all of the heavy lifting that went into this in
previous bugs through the years. This will enable major cleanups
throughout both the dom/workers/ code as well as all of the code that
runs on top of workers that will significantly reduce complexity and
meaningfully improve performance by eliminating jank!
A hearty thank you as well to everyone who had a part in making this
possible! It's been a long journey from the world of legacy extensions
when JS could (and did!) implement anything and everything...
nsIPrincipal only was marked builtinclass[0] in 2012 by jlebar[1] and
nsIURI in 2017 by Valentin[2], with Valentin making NS_NewURI work off
the main thread in 2019[3]!
(A very happy) Andrew
