In Fennec (and Firefox's responsive design view), attempts to set `location.href` to an unknown protocol such as the given URL result in being taken to an error page. In Chrome Mobile, a warning is instead logged to the console and the attempt is ignored: `Navigation is unreachable: bilibili://video/43248171?h5awaken=<snip>%3D%3D&page=0` This results in a broken experience on bilibili.com for Firefox users, which has a `load` listener that attempts such a redirect, breaking the experience for users (though it can take a long time for the page to fire the `load` event). (Note that Chrome desktop will trigger an XDG prompt to let the user open the redirected URL to another program, but likewise will not actually change to an error page).
