It is proprietary and unneeded as far as I can tell. And per bug 681931 might be leaking?
Seems to be used when people don't want a content-type set. See bug 416178 comment 31
You should get the same behavior per spec if you pass a Blob without a type to send(). But yes, we should warn about this going away first.
I agree. lets warn about this for a release or two and then nuke it. But we should be prepared to put it back temporarily if it's breaking high usage websites.

It seems this has been deprecated since Firefox 31. Time to remove it?

Initial version of patch

Could we land this for FF39, so that ESR38 would still have the warning - 
just in case some intranet site uses the property.

Update uuid of nsIXMLHttpRequest.

So I should just bump the UUID and then we'll hold off for two more weeks?
Add new patch for landing.
