Bug 1179250 Comment 12 Edit History

The throwing code has been added in bug 1309523.
Comment mentions that this is specific to non-e10s codepath.
I'm having a hard time to understand this comment:
```
  // Note that this is really only needed for the non-e10s case.
  // See bug 1309523.
  const channel = this.httpActivity.channel;
  this._wrappedNotificationCallbacks = channel.notificationCallbacks;
  channel.notificationCallbacks = this;
```
We should not have much or any non-e10s codepath nowadays?
If I comment these lines, devtools/client/netmonitor/test/browser_net_content-type.js fails, so it seems still relevant.
Could it be that non-e10s means "codepath in the parent process"?

As comment 4,5,6 stated, this relates to WebSocket as the throwing channel is about `wss://push.services.mozilla.com/` request.
This code should only run in the parent process, so I imagine we are calling this method:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/protocol/websocket/WebSocketChannelParent.cpp#274-289
Which seems to implement only two interfaces:

This one test assert netmonitor behavior against a content page, but all the throwing cases are about requests which might be done from the parent process.

But this also throws for `https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org/submit/telemetry/2be115ed-f0a4-4006-a873-daee6642aee3/main/Firefox/76.0a1/default/20200319010007?v=4`, where `_wrappedNotificationCallbacks` will be an XMLHttpRequest object.

As Honza just said, both cases fail to get nsIParentChannel and nsILoadContext interfaces.

A patch like this one prevents having error reports:
```

Is that acceptable?
Should WebSocket and XMLHttpRequest `GetInterface` methods  throw `NS_ERROR_NO_INTERFACE` instead of `NS_ERROR_FAILURE`?
Could it actually be the underlying issue here?
