[Commotion-admin] [mlab-browser-ext] UI freezes for the duration of NDT test (#22)

[Josh Mize]

yes, the TCPSocket API is only enabled by default on Firefox OS and off by default in desktop Firefox, so it cannot be used from a webpage, but I figured it may be possible to do from an extension, but I wasn't sure as I'd never tried, but after doing a little more research it does look possible: according to http://stackoverflow.com/a/26359452/2965637 you should be able to create a TCPSocket instance from an extension using the following:

```js
var socket = Cc["@mozilla.org/tcp-socket;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIDOMTCPSocket);
```
