Details

(Whiteboard: [domsecurity-active])

The idea is to block loading scripts via HTTP/HTTPS from privileged extension content (background scripts, background pages, etc.). This would turn some of the policy restrictions for WebExtensions into runtime-enforcement.

It should be possible to create a new set of pre-request restrictions in DoContentSecurityChecks and inspect the Principal's AddonPolicy (and thus manifestVersion).

P.S:We did something quite similar for the SystemPrincipal context (bug 1767395) and are doing the same for privileged about pages (bug 1767581).
