Steps to reproduce:
I created a small demo web extension, attached to this post.
This web extension works but should log all requests in devtools according to this docs because i used the "<all_urls>" patern.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/webRequest/onBeforeRequest
Actual results:
If you try to load a local file (with scheme "file://") the log function will not be called despite the "<all_urls>" directive
Expected results:
"file://" scheme should also trigger the log function.

urlsarray of string. An array of match patterns. The listener will only be called for requests whose targets match any of the given patterns. Only requests made using HTTP or HTTPS will trigger events, other protocols (such as data: and file:) supported by pattern matching do not trigger events.
PS. Your package contains a large .git directory of an unrelated (public) add-on. Probably not a problem now, but be careful with what you put in the zip file next time.
