Accessing about:reader URLs in a WebExtension

Add-ons Development
#1

I have an extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-reader-view/ ) built using the add-on sdk that relies heavily on redirecting URLs prefixed with “about:reader”. I just started playing around with the WebExtension API and it appears that “about:” URLs are blocked from content_scripts. Is there any way around this?

Is there any way around this?

Nothing else than waiting for this:
