Build Identifier: 

Greasemonkey uses nsIContentPolicy to determine if content should load or not, see http://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues#issue/1184

The issue is that when a user opens a .user.js by right clicking on a link and pressing "open in a new tab" the new tab opens, the content is rejected, the tab is left blank, and the install window appears. So we need a ref to the window that the content was going to load in, in order to close it if it's != aContext (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/NsIContentPolicy ) the window where the request initiated.

Reproducible: Always

Idk how, but somehow I think I made a mistake, and the aContext is in fact the new tab, so aTargetContext is not needed for my use case.
