You will want to use the nsIEffectiveTLDService for this. It's basically a giant list of special-cases maintained by mozilla such as the mentioned .co.uk domain and used for same-basedomain (as opposed same-origin) policies such as cookies.

Some of its functionality is also exposed in the sdk/url module.

This is what you can get enter image description here

So you have to just do string manipulation on that one I would think. Does'nt look like it auotmatically gets it, but i could be wrong.
