Attached patch patchSplinter Review
The problem here is that SystemZoneResource::IsAvailable can be called from any thread. On non-main threads, dom::danger::GetJSContext will return null or a worker JSContext. We always want to get a main-thread JSContext (although it doesn't matter which one). This patch just picks an arbitrary cooperative thread's context.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Is SystemZoneAvailable safe to call from any thread?  It looks like it accesses quite a bunch of stuff...but I guess we're calling it under a lock of some sort, which would ensure that we're not modifying the cx from the (a) main thread.
