The fact that nsIURIs can be mutated makes them impossible to safely use on multiple threads.
It also means that they are actually unsafe for a whole set of other things. Currently we mainly solve this by "being careful".
So we should replace the various setters with createCloneWithDifferentX functions. I.e. replace the host setter with a createCloneWithDifferentHost(nsCAString& aHost) function (or with an appropriate name).
We should probably do this as a two-step process where we first add the createClone functions, and then give addon authors a release or two to update their code, and then remove the setters.
