Details

With the nsIHandlerService components and other stuff, we could declare a content handler for a specific mime type in a XUL/jetpack extension. For example, PDF.js use them to handle PDF content and display the PDF content in HTML. We should have a similar API in WebExtension, so an extension like [Markdown-Viewer](https://github.com/KeithLRobertson/markdown-viewer/) could work efficiently.
