+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #552864 +++

We need to port the work in bug 552864 to Thunderbird. There are some reasons for this:

1) DLL Blocklisting is broken until we do at least part of the port (not good).

2) There should be significant start-up performance improvements, especially when combined with bug 632404.

tracking+ for 7 because we need this due to the DLL blocklisting issue.

To fix this we need to port the browser/ parts of:

I'd interested to know what broke, because the intent was to *not* break the current uses.
Also, bug 658847 should help, here.
Mike is right, the DLL blocklist isn't broken as I thought it was (I'd missed how the change was done). We can just pick this up when we're ready.
