Subject: [PATCH] [Firefox] Remove the `FirefoxCom.requestSync` method, since
 it's unused

After the two previous commits, which removed the remaining call-sites, this method is no longer used and can thus be removed.
As mentioned in the JSDocs for the now removed method, synchronous communication between the viewer and the platform code isn't really a good idea.

Once this patch has landed in mozilla-central some additional clean-up of the platform code will also be possible.
