To be more precise:
This extension is not enabled by default. The only change to the default build here is a lookup of the service NS_NETWORK_PROTOCOL_CONTRACTID_PREFIX"moz-gio" (which won't normally be present). This is similar to what is done for the gnomevfs extension.

The benefit of the patch is that distributions no longer shipping gnomevfs can enable the gio extension for similar behaviour using modern system libraries.
