Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:9 gk]:
 > mcs/brade: Do you think you could look into whether we could just
 backport the relevant patches to ESR 45 (as far as I can see only the one
 in 1211567 is relevant, but maybe I am missing something)? That way we
 could get all the things for unix domain sockets landed for the next alpha
 and could start experimenting for realz.

 Eventually we will want UI fixes as well
 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1294611) but backporting
 1211567 seems to be sufficient to make things work on OSX (and presumably
 Linux as well).

 In fact, we already backported this in order to test our #19733 patch. If
 I remember correctly, we did not need to make any changes to the patch.
 Here it is:
