Details

We currently jump through some hoops to register about:studies at run time. This is an artifact of being a system add-on. It is more complex than it needs to be, and creates problems like bug 1400897.

The hoop jumping happens in toolkit/components/normandy/content/AboutPages.jsm. We can avoid a lot of the registration tasks in that document by doing this statically instead of dynamically.

I believe that adding about:studies to the list in AboutRedirector.cpp [1] will be the best way to do this.
