Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0

Steps to reproduce:

Trying to register a handle for the taler protocol.

Actual results:

A "SecurityError" DOMException is thrown as the scheme is not safelisted.

Expected results:

This is expected. I am filling this as the taler URI scheme is nearing completion, and we have both a Firefox WebExtension but also external (wallet) applications that implement a protocol handlers for it. We use the taler URI scheme to trigger interactions between Web sites and the payment system.
