TODO

• Try to make resource uri out of a blob like this:

var panelXul = [
  '<?xml version="1.0"?>',
  '<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>',
  '<window xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul" hidechrome="true" style="background-color: #BC2A4D;" onclick="window.close();"/>'
].join('');

//Cu.importGlobalProperties(['URL']);
var oFileBody = panelXul;
var oBlob = Blob([oFileBody], {
  type: "text/xml"
});
url = URL.createObjectURL(oBlob);

console.log('url:', url);

let res = Services.io.getProtocolHandler("resource").QueryInterface(Ci.nsIResProtocolHandler);
res.setSubstitution("rawr", Services.io.newURI('http://www.bing.com',null,null));


var panelWin = Services.ww.openWindow(null, 'resource://rawr', '_blank', 'chrome,alwaysRaised', null, null);
panelWin.addEventListener('load', function() {
  //URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
  panelWin.moveTo(Services.appShell.hiddenDOMWindow.screen.left, Services.appShell.hiddenDOMWindow.screen.top);
  panelWin.resizeTo(Services.appShell.hiddenDOMWindow.screen.width, Services.appShell.hiddenDOMWindow.screen.height);
}, false);
