When installing GMP installs/updates i Bug #1009816 we do some on the main thread IO in the background. This bug is to get rid of that. The probable approach is to convert the zip reader code to work asynchronously or to extend it to be able to supply an in memory stream reader. The data would be read via OS.File. The other uses of nsIFile should also be replaced with OS.File. This may be implemented in FF34 but will be uplifted into FF33.
