Extension doesn't load on this page

I am developing an extension. I am running the extension locally and I have noticed that it doesn't load on this page (https://support.mozilla.org). Is there some limitation to running extensions here? The same extension works fine in google chrome for this page. It is very important for me that the extension runs everywhere since it's an accessibility extension.

Chosen solution

Yes, extensions do not work on some Mozilla websites for security reasons because extensions that run on Mozilla websites have special privileges. If you read the description of several popular extensions then they mention this.
