understanding URL patterns #21

i'm not understanding the URL pattern syntax

i want to inject css on AMO - if i disable the URL filter, this works fine, but none of the following work and it seems like they should all work...

*
*://*
https://*/*
https://addons.mozilla.org/*

The url pattern is ok . I made some test and when accessing https://addons.mozilla.org/ with firefox , it simply does not modify the header . It seems that firefox is preventing it

If i using chrome with the plugin, it works .

I test modifying header with another plugin (modheader) and there is the same problem , the header is not modify when accessing domain addons.mozilla.org.

I guess there is a security reason for this ...

hmmm - i thought the only thing preventing add-ons from working on AMO was the extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains pref (which i empty)

didierfred commented 4 years ago

AMO is a protected domain
