The // XXX REMOVEME part should be removed once all related gaia changes landed as well.

So, with that patch alone, no app will have contacts permissions, right? We will need to have them added at install time/generated in the profile. Is that correct?

r=me in that case and with the following comments applied:

Actually, you can change all that too:
let perm = Services.perms.testExactPermissionFromPrincipal(aWindow.document.nodePrincipal, "contacts");

we are now always returning ALLOW_ACTION for the system principal.

Remove that. As Vivien said, we should just push data changes when Gecko changes land.

So with this patch we still grant permission in the XXX Remove part but without the removeme part we rely on the pre-population.
Just make sure to land the prepopulation part first and land that patch after *without* the "XXX REMOVEME" part.
