(Whiteboard: [necko-triaged])

CaptiveDetect.jsm was originally written for FirefoxOS using XMLHttpRequest. While it has served its purpose, it would be much better to rewrite this in rust or C++ to avoid all of the weird quirks of XHR - and the fact that as seen in bug 1800603 we sometimes instantiate it before the JS engine is actually ready.
