User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20171015215539
Steps to reproduce:
With old XUL addons, it was possible to use addons with service pages such as about:* pages. It was convenient with addons like Vimperator.
Actual results:
With modern WebExtension API, no addon can work in either local or remote service page.
Expected results:
While this new behavior is for security purpose, it can provide some mechanism to make, for example, trusted addons to work with service pages.
