Details

(Whiteboard: [necko-triaged])

We have two non-test calls to the UTS 46 ToUnicode operation: One in URL fixup in the docshell. This should probably be mere label-wise Punycode decode, since it's not about using the string as a domain but about restoring a string that accidentally went through ToASCII. Another one in the front end should probably convert to display IDN instead.

Chances are that adding ToUnicode calls is a bug and callers should convert to display IDN instead. So far, Web-exposed ToUnicode conversions haven't been a thing.
