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.
