The downloader's toolbar menu appears, but it can't download any videos. In the Browser Console, I see hundreds of "permission denied" errors when a youtube.com page is opened. If I unload the youtube.com page, then the errors stop.

Error: Permission denied to access object
Error: Permission denied to access object
Error: Permission denied to access object

STR:
1. Install addon! :)
2. Open Firefox's Browser Console.
3. Load any YouTube page, e.g. Lil Bub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuHZSbPJhaY

RESULT:
Watch the console for many log messages like "Error: Permission denied to access object".

5. Click the downloader addon's toolbar button.
6. The downloader menu will open.
7. Click the download arrow button.

RESULT:
Nothing downloads.

The problem is related to this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1028718

quoting from ":zombie"

> yes, the loader/sandbox module, and everything that depends on it (ContentWorker, PageMod, tab.attach..) is incompatible with e10s, i'm working on that in bug 1028718..

Unfortunately, I cannot check the extension on e10s until the `PageMod` module is compatible.
