Brian, is there a plan on how to address this?

I think the right thing to do here is remove chrome redirects entirely (bug 1601122). If we wanted to fix this in the meantime we could update the extension to xhtml at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/6cd54550a27e2f6ca0755a25328f769e41e524f4/chrome/nsChromeRegistry.cpp#183, but I'm not sure that we need to support manually-entered chrome urls.
