WebExtension: XMLHttpRequest issues: No cookies or referrer *SOLVED*

I don’t have any issues with normal XHR in Chrome. It sends cookies no
problem. It is only in FF that I need to wrap. Since I use the same content
script for both browsers, I just simply grab the correct object as needed…

function getXMLHttp(){
   try {
      return XPCNativeWrapper(new window.wrappedJSObject.XMLHttpRequest());
   }
   catch(evt){
      return new XMLHttpRequest();
   }
}

I’m sure there is a better method than try/catch but for now, this works
perfectly and the same code works in Chrome and FF.
