User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0 Build ID: 20170125094131 Steps to reproduce: 1. Create WebExtension with NativeMessaging permision, 2. Install host app with manifest.json file in "C:\Program files (x86)\" directory, 3. HKLM registry points to manifest.json file inside installation dir. 4. Start web page with WebExtension + native messaging. Actual results: NativeMessaging Host application does not start in Firefox! It looks like Firefox have got a problem with paths containing spaces and/or other characters like dots or brackets. When host app files are installed in path without spaces or other special characters everything works fine. Expected results: NativeMessaging Host application should start. Chrome and Opera starts host app from the same path without any problems.
