If I were to attempt this, I would follow the example here:
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp?rev=9fd000703ace#9426

i.e. I would set a flag/property on the docshell and then I would modify
DoURILoad to check that flag (on the current docshell, and on the parent)
and set the LOAD_ANONYMOUS flag on the channel as needed.
