Reading bug 1270416 comment 48 again, this bug refers to blocking registerProtocolHandler calls that are not initiated by user interaction.
I'm not sure whether this will be needed, as the new "Temporarily Blocked" and "Blocked" permission states from Firefox 53 may serve our purpose better, without breaking sites that currently try to register their protocol handlers on page load.
We can re-evaluate after the implementation in bug 1270416 is finished.
