We might be able to convert TYPE_MOZILLA_NONMAINUITHREAD to a TYPE_MOZILLA_NONMAINTHREAD now. This was added for media code which was (is still?) interacting with native windows on the desktop, chatting with local devices, and other related native media activity. It might be overkill now. An audit of what we ended up using here would tell. The loop isn't troublesome in any way but might be a pain to convert over to whatever new system you plan to implement.
