Can't you get the URI of the caller with window.opener?

No. Sorry, I should have explained it properly. What we need is to expose the origin of the caller of window.open via 'mozbrowseropenwindow', so the Gaia system app can check if the caller application is certified or not. That's the use case that we've identified for bug 768943, but it could be extended to other use cases (like a popup blocker as Justin mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768943).

Blocking a blocker so + ... unless of course this isn't the solution we go ahead with :)

Justin says this is no longer needed.

This doesn't need to be a blocker anymore, based on our approach in bug 768943 .
