Comment(by keb):

 Source definition of the problematic uri
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Chrome_Registration#resource

 Pretending to be not-firefox contradicts that torbrowser pretends to be
 mozilla.
 Does firefox really need this "resource://" feature?  It comes with a
 serious security warning.  "Note that there are no security restrictions
 preventing web content from including content at resource: URIs, so take
 care what you make visible there."  I.e. maybe better to lobby to remove
 it entirely from upstream.
