On certains websites `{{baseURI}}` returns the wrong URI

[nicolaiarocci]

How to reproduce:

1. Got to https://steven-giesel.com/blogPost/79ce95ad-17a9-4537-8f1b-48d71efc585d
2. Hit the extension icon
3. My result for the 'source' tag in the front matter is moz-extension://d880f626-c6d9-4776-b1a6-a717e26d44eb/, while the expected result would be the page url above

I have the same problem; so far I've only noticed it with GitHub. For this issue, instead of https://github.com/deathau/markdownload/issues/201 I get chrome-extension://pcmpcfapbekmbjjkdalcgopdkipoggdi/_generated_background_page.html (which is the ID of the MarkDownload extension)

And at the bottom of the generated markdown is a bunch of error text:

[Skip to content](chrome-extension://pcmpcfapbekmbjjkdalcgopdkipoggdi/_generated_background_page.html#start-of-content)

Sorry, something went wrong.

Also experiencing this issue. I think I've narrowed it down to Readability.js, at some point the dom.baseURI changes from the correct value to the extension's URL. This also affects relative URLs in images (#260).
