Discussed with robwu, this is caused by our old registerWebExtension API, and it's now gone since our tests use installBuiltIn.

[Rob Wu [:robwu]]

This is caused by the use of extensions that have been registered via registerWebExtension, and use the webRequest or proxy API (and previously, also extension messaging, until that changed in bug 1624235).

In Fenix, this bug happens because A-C loads the webcompat add-on in this way.

This bug will only truly be resolved when the deprecated method goes away, so I'm changing the duplicate status to the (open) bug 1634504.
