When my extension opens a new tab with the URI "about:passwordmaker", I can't
populate it with content. I'd like to use this URI to display information about my
extension's settings. However, the following exception appears in the JS console:
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040154 (NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED)

Anyone know how I can achieve this? My code works just fine if I use
"about:blank".
When you refer to about:passwordmaker Gecko tries to load a component
named @mozilla.org/network/protocol/about;1?what=passwordmaker to
implement the nsIAboutModule interface. What that component then usually
does is create a channel for a chrome URL, and set its original URL to
the about URL, so for example about:config simply loads
chrome://global/content/config.js as you can demonstrate by comparing
the two in two tabs.
