Hi, Hector from Beijing office here.

In case you're not aware, we're shipping a web hosted fork of activity-stream[1] with a privileged signed extension[2] as the newtab experience in Fx China repack.

We're actually flipping the `browser.tabs.remote.separatePrivilegedContentProcess` pref [3] to keep the screenshots working in our fork. I guess I'm not always using the code as originally intended, but would you please give me some advice on how best to mitigate this removal, other than moving all those logic into our extension?

Thanks!
