There's a r+ patch which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:jgilbert, could you have a look please?

We need bug 1678152 here because if that happens in the wild, we might get crashes without crash reports!

Nika doesn't think WebGL Remoting needs to block Fission MVP. Non-native theming will remove the biggest use of X11 in content processes and that's probably good enough for Fission MVP.

Merging this with bug 1638466; at this point we're just going to have this ride the trains.

(Also, if anyone was wondering why the patch here broke — like me, when I tried the same thing just now and it broke on Try — it's because our cpp-like preprocessor doesn't handle parenthesized subexpressions. However, it does give && higher precedence than ||.)
