Details

RefPtr has a constructor which takes StaticRefPtr<T>&. Therefore, this style is available:

StaticRefPtr<Foo> sFoo;

void Bar::DoSomething() {
  RefPtr<Foo> foo = sFoo;
}

However, nsCOMPtr does not have the corresponding constructor. Therefore,

nsCOMPtr<Foo> foo = sFoo;

causes bustage, and you need to rewrite it with sFoo.get().
