Details

Right now nsIPrompt interface methods (alert, prompt, etc.) take a mozIDOMWindowProxy to use as a parent. This means that now that we have documentchannel, when I'm in the parent process, I can't cause a tab-modal prompt for the relevant tab because I don't (and can't) have a reference to a DOM window, which is in a child process.

We should change the APIs to take a browsingcontext. This isn't super trivial because the geckoview implementation will also want to do something sensible in this case.

This will help switch prompts to be tab modal.

Now that Bug 1615588 landed, prompting with BrowsingContext is supported and the preferred way to show prompts.
