Details

This causes the following error when compiling on Windows: : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class nsString' to 'const unsigned short * (I've been using nsString2 since its origin and this is the first problem I encounterred. I was surprised we haven't converted over to it yet!)

ACK! I've been telling folks that this API is going away for over a month now. You can't rely on this api because nsString2 can store 1 and 2 byte strings, and this API presumes 2 byte. Instead, you should call nsString2::GetUnicode().
