The systemxhr permission was originally proposed to be available to privileged apps, not just certified apps. Currently only certified apps can get this permission: https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-aurora/source/dom/apps/src/PermissionsInstaller.jsm#216 See bug 692677 for original discussion. Note that if bug 783716 lands, this bug is not needed, however currently 783716 isnt basecamp blocking.
This is blocking meaningful use cases such as bug 810044, the podcasts reference app.
