Steps to reproduce:

It would be very convenient, for applications or addons interacting with the desktop or window manager, if nsIBaseWindow could expose its handle to the native window, in the form of an attribute in JS. This handle could be passed on to js-ctypes for instance.

It should be an number representing a pointer to the native window (like a *GdkWindow or a HWND). I guess it should be whatever nsWindow::GetNativeData(NS_NATIVE_WINDOW) returns but in JS;

This news thread shows a practical use case: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.extensions/JXgOCHSK0ZU/bR5A2ZCZV3sJ
