Many extensions don't work on support.mozilla.org

Hi 🙂

Many extensions don't work on support.mozilla.org.

For ex, Clippings and Unicodify – Text transformer are very useful to write text. It's annoying not to be able to use them to write in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/form.


Seeing https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/tyytcy/how_to_get_rid_of_this_extension_restriction/i3vke2p/,


1) Why is support.mozilla.org privileged and can pull out information about visitor's system, while connect.mozilla.org cannot?


2) I see that:

  • Copy Link Text works,
  • Unicodify – Text transformer is able to read selected text but not to write in forms,
  • Clippings is not able to read selected text.

Is there a doc which explains what are the limits of what's allowed for extensions in "internal restricted sites"?

Extensions cannot inject content scripts into pages on restricted sites:

Ref. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Content_scripts#permissions_restrictions_and_limitations

There are a lot of useful things extensions can do without injecting scripts, but it's hard to come up with a complete list. For example, the translation extension I use can still display a popup translation of selected text using the right-click context menu item.
