1824976 - Add (ext|web)\+[a-z]+: url pattern as command line parameter for registered protocol handlers of WebExtensions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Add-Ons: Extensions API, enhancement)

Description

[John Bieling (:TbSync)]

Finalize Bug 1757142 and allow to provide WebExtension protocol handler urls as command line parameter. Consider this manifest:

{
        "manifest_version": 2,
        "name": "cuprohaex",
        "version": "0.1",
        "protocol_handlers": [{
                "protocol": "ext+phex",
                "name": "Protocol Handler Example",
                "uriTemplate": "/example.html#%s"
        }]
}

This patch aims to support passing the defined WebExtension protocol to Thunderbird via the command line:

thunderbird ext-pheb://<something>

Thunderbird should be opened and a tab with /example.html#ext-pheb://<something> should be loaded.
