Mike, I see this message sent in the browser console with FF48 and e10s enabled when using ReloadEvery which fails to refresh the page.

Is it normal according to your patch in bug 1233803?

No, it's not normal. This is due to the fact that our add-on shims aren't properly QI'ing the docShell to an nsIWebNavigation before attempting to return the sessionHistory, which means that unless something else has QI'd that docShell to an nsIWebNavigation before, the sessionHistory will be undefined.

TL;DR, this is a shims bug, and I'll try to fix it ASAP.

Thanks Mike. About that unsafe CPOW message, is that gone too now?

I believe that'll stick around, unfortunately.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]:

e10s

[User impact if declined]:

Users with add-ons that attempt to access sessionHistory directly on WebNavigation's in the parent process (or through any of the alises, like through gBrowser or browser.sessionHistory) will sometimes fail in e10s mode.

I say "sometimes" because sometimes the docShell in the content process has been QI'd to an nsIWebNavigation, so in some cases, this will work. In other cases the QI has not occurred, so in the shim, we do the QI to be sure.

[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]:

Added an automated test.

[Risks and why]: 

Very low - it's only within the shimming code, so this shouldn't affect non-e10s at all.

[String/UUID change made/needed]:

None.

With the latest Nightly (20160321030217), ReloadEvery reloads the pages and I don't see anymore this error in the browser console, even if I see always various "Unsafe CPOW usage", but I guess they are a different issue.

Thanks for a prompt verification! Please file a bug on the other issue if there isn't one filed already.
