Thanks for the effort you put into this! In addition to the performance gains, this will help prevent future security bugs. You know this, of course (and hinted at it with the mention of more predictable behaviour), but I want everyone else to appreciate that benefit of your work. String URLs are a temptation to evil (*ad hoc* parsing): any difference in how one section of code interprets a URL compared to another could easily be a security bug. URLs may not be as bad as names <https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/>, but they do have edge cases that aren't obvious from the way most web URLs look. Always use the common parsing routines and operate on nsIURIs (or Principals) rather than strings.
