Disable Mozilla related page restrictions
I have an extension called Gesturefy that allows you to use mouse gestures to do things like navigate through tabs, perform searches, etc. The problem is that on Mozilla pages, these gestures are not allowed for security reasons, as the developer explains: "Gesturefy does not work on Mozilla related pages like addons.mozilla.org, internal pages like about:addons or other add-on option pages (e.g. moz-extension://*). This is because Firefox restricts add-ons from accessing these pages for security reasons."
Is it possible to disable these restrictions for this specific extension or in general?

It is not recommended to disable this safety feature as this is because Mozilla pages have special powers (i.e. can access all data/files on your computer like adding troubleshooting information on this forum) what would allow all extensions to access this data.
Extensions do not work on Mozilla websites because content scripts are blocked on several restricted domains that have special permissions to access and modify personal data.
