User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 Build ID: 20170924220116 Steps to reproduce: I want web extensions to load on jar:file:///.... URLs. I have a lot of local HTML docs compressed in zip files. I can visit them with jar:file: but web extensions don't load on such pages, even when they load on file: pages. Actual results: Web extensions work on file: URLs don't work on jar:file: URLs. Expected results: jar:file: should match like file: wrt web extensions. They are all local files after all.

Direct access to the jar: scheme is deprecated, and we won't make any particular effort to support it.
