I'm on the July 2nd Nightly. I just opened about:home to check something, and got a storage permission prompt. Not sure what's doing it (and I didn't get it again on other loads of about:home). Snippet? We shouldn't be showing a prompt for built-in pages (i.e. either we need to whitelist / special-case it, not not ask in the first place).

You typed about:Home (note the capitalization), which makes some internal whitelist not match. We already had bug 1395820 about this and it was transformed to deal with Activity Stream instead, since that's the new about:home? I'm duping this bug, though we should be aware that a solution to bug 1395820 might not necessarily solve this for the old about:home as well. Not sure if we care.
