window.name should default to "", but on ffos it seems to default to main.
A test case http://mozilla.pettay.fi/moztests/windowopen.html

Seems like https://mxr.mozilla.org/gaia/source/apps/system/js/browser_frame.js#42 is using "main".

Also, if name management was relying on what Gecko does, 
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/dom/ipc/TabChild.cpp#1526 could be removed, I hope. 

As far as I see, FFOS' window.name handling is racy, since it relies on parent sending the name back to child before child has done anything else.

I noticed this while debugging bug 1191724.
This bug is partially in Gecko and partially in Gaia.
Firefox OS is not being worked on
