request: option to not add protocol in front of url #353

I am trying to add about:firefoxview as my new tab page. Using the Home Page setting is not working for this, even if I am able to set this as my new window page. The issue is that https:// is prepended to the url. Would be real nice to be able to open Firefox View on new page, or add some optional character that negates prepending protocol.

It's not possible to use about: URIs as new tab pages. You always need https://, http:// or file:// as a protocol. So it gives the best user experience, if https:// will be added if no protocol is given.
