 In my haste to fix #16730 in time for 5.0, I forgot to account for the
 fact that the reset whitelist omits blob:, mediasource: and moz-safe-
 about:. Technically websites can detect this and use it to fingerprint
 users.

 We should probably add these URIs back in to the whitelist if they are
 absent, or remove them if they are present. I am leaning towards adding
 them, since I suspect mediasource: and blob: are needed by some sites
 (which is probably why Giorgio added them).
