498752 - treat chrome page loaded into browser tab as chrome in all respects

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Chrome pages loaded into browser tabs are treated as chrome in some respects but not others.

In particular, their scripts are treated as content by the code that detects and warns the user about long-running scripts, which consults the content pref (dom.max_script_run_time) instead of the chrome one (dom.max_chrome_script_run_time) to determine when to issue these warnings.

There should be a way for such chrome pages to be treated as chrome in all respects, perhaps when their browser elements are labeled type="chrome", as suggested by bsmedberg in bug 286651, comment 3 and by bz in bug 349985, comment 20.
