... which seems to be a *very* old thing because:
- resource://app might have pointed to the plain Firefox directory where
you could find the omnijar a long time ago (I don't remember if that
ever was actually true), but it points *inside* the omnijar now.
- omni.jar was renamed omni.ja a loooooong time ago.
Arguably, the interesting test, though, would be addons sources from
before FF38, since presumably addons might have changed to work around
the resource://app brokenness.
