Comment (by yawning):

 Replying to [comment:40 mikeperry]:
 > 1. I think it *might* have been better to use http-on-modify-request
 here rather than both the content policy and the response listener, but
 you might also not have as much information there about the source content
 url. Maybe this doesn't matter so much, since what we really want is a
 direct Firefox patch. The extra observers will have a perf cost, though.

 The CSP is required because `http-on-modify-request` events dont' fire for
 `recourse://` urls, unfortunately.
