Specifying an HTTP URL in the aboutURL portion of an extension's install.rdf
does not work. It should open a chrome window only if the scheme is "chrome:",
otherwise if the scheme is "http" it should open a browser window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an extension
2. Add an aboutURL with an http scheme
3. Try to navigate to it
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I do not this this bug should be fixed the way you describe. If an extension
specifies an em:aboutURL we should always assume that the URL is a XUL window
(remote XUL is ok!).
