(Whiteboard: [design-decision-needed])
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0
Steps to reproduce:
I'm a happy user of the feature implemented in https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/mobile/android/components/ImageBlockingPolicy.js#L91, i.e. image blocking depending on the network link status.
However, I'd like to use white-listing, which is available through add-ons such as Easy Image Blocker.
Actual results:
Unfortunately, I did not find a way to access the network link status through WebExtensions because nsINetworkLinkService (using Components.classes) isn't available through the API.
Expected results:
Let's make
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Reference/Interface/nsINetworkLinkService available through a WebExtensions API.

Isn't this a duplicate of bug 1550605 ?
I left this open since currently link status is only available to mozilla extensions. Once we know the api is what we want, I think we could consider exposing it, it has general use for network management extensions (e.g. proxy extensions).
cc/fallen for product perspective.
