Unable to open extension urls, moz-extenstion protocol

[amithm7]

I'm trying to open extension url like this:

moz-extension://3b12022a-75a7-4189-8431-a45b8c5ff24e/popup/index.html#inTab

But this url get's converted to an http protocol url automatically.

https://moz-extension//3b12022a-75a7-4189-8431-a45b8c5ff24e/popup/index.html#inTab

I just installed this extension for the purpose of setting new tab to a moz-extension:// URI, FWIW. Thanks @amithm7 for not only reporting this but submitting the PR.

Thank you for the report and the pull request. In the past it was not possible to use moz-extension URIs as new tab page. I will check if this works now but it will take a few more days because I am very busy with other high priority projects right now. I just didn't want to keep you waiting any longer without feedback.

@amithm7 does this allow data payloads that are base64 encoded?

data:text/html;base64,....

Is so this would solve the use case I'd like which is to spin up a page with html without hitting a web server (local files are not allowed in the extension apparently).

@clach04 No, the PR I opened doesn't consider data: URI's. Only protocols of the form protocol://, does it consider to be excluded from automatically adding http://.
