The flow of how we share files via bluetooth in gaia:

- Gallery or Music (File) -web activity-> Bluetooth app (File) -> mozBluetooth (File)

But currently result in:

- Gallery or Music (File) -web activity-> Bluetooth app (Blob) -> mozBluetooth (Blob)

Looks like after passing by web activities, a File object will become a Blob object,
but mozBluetooth api needs File, not Blob object because it needs File.name and File.size
Blobs doesn't contain .name and .size

So that's why it always shows failed for current gaia.

One correction, Blob does have .size, so the only missing property is .name for mozBluetooth api.
