 Starting from FF59,

 > Support for Decentralization Protocols
 >
 > Mozilla has always been a proponent of decentralization, recognizing
 that it is a key ingredient of a healthy Internet. Starting with Firefox
 59, several protocols that support decentralized architectures are
 approved for use by extensions.  The newly approved protocols are:
 >
 > - Dat Project (dat://)
 > - IPFS (dweb://  ipfs://  ipns://)
 > - Secure Scuttlebutt (ssb://)
 >
 > Firefox itself does not implement these protocols, but having them on
 the approved list means the browser recognizes them as valid protocols and
 extensions are free to provide implementations.

 Firefox will allow addons to support IPFS, ..etc. There's a need to be
 sure that all those things when implemented in addons are shoved up
 through Tor and don't leak.
