This isn't really a DOM issue.  The "per-site preferences" thing Firefox implements insists on using URIs, not origins....

Ah, ok, moving to Firefox->General then.

"insists on" might be the wrong characterization. :) Are you suggesting we should store serialized nsIPrincipals instead of URIs? It's not clear to me how that would work (nsIPrincipals are much more complicated to deal with in general).
