Details

nsIVariant values appear to be automatically converted to JavaScript primitive types at runtime.

However, TypeScript does not recognize this behaviour and assumes the values are still nsIVariant. As a result, it raises type errors when JavaScript code uses methods or properties appropriate for the unwrapped primitive types.
