(Whiteboard: tpi:+)

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1152048#c24 (and maybe a few surrounding comments) for most of the context. Sending this notification synchronously can (in very rare circumstances) cause a deadlock in nsSocketTransportService::Dispatch. We're working around this by making the necko handling of the notification asynchronous, but there may be more deadlocks that could be caused by this.
