Requests of type font not handled in Firefox

[norstbox]

Open any web page which uses Web Fonts, for example MDN

• Network request logger show no requests of type font
• Web font can't be blocked by using filter.

Chromium free from the above issues.

uBlock 0.9.6.0 and 0.9.6.1-rc.0
Firefox 37
Windows 8.1

I noticed that the vAPI code (an attempt at cross-platform compatibility) does try to recognize webfonts as having type font even though the webRequest API does not have that listed, and presumably they would be considered other: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest#type-ResourceType

        var ext = tail.slice(pos) + '.';
        if ( '.eot.ttf.otf.svg.woff.woff2.'.indexOf(ext) !== -1 ) {
            details.type = 'font';
            return;
        }

I'm not sure where in the code there is any attempt to convert font into a type recognized by webRequest, before deciding to block it.

EDIT I am an idiot because I ended up responding as if the problem were in Chrome, rather than Firefox.

I know why this happens, will fix tomorrow.
