WebExt can redirect to about:home but not about:mozilla

Hi,

I made a WebExtension that redirects new tab to about:home. It is configurable and can redirect to about:blank but it seems that it does not redirect to about:mozilla or about:robots

Here is the code that does the redirect.

Is it a permission issue, a bug I should report or a know WebExtension limitation?

Thank you,
Andrei

There are a few bugs related to about: pages, for example bug 1270412 and bug 1322304. Not sure if your case is covered by any of them, so it might be best to file a new bug.
