I looked at the navigator.register*Handler standards and unfortunately they don't work:

  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerContentHandler (removed in Firefox 62)
  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler (doesn't allow registering the feed: protocol)

It might be possible to intercept someone visiting a feed: URI though using one of the webRequest/tabs/history API though.

Now that Firefox doesn't handle feed: anymore, maybe we can make a compelling case to allow registerProtocolHandler for that scheme/protocol.
