NoScript's use of redirectTo() breaks other addons

[barbaz]

From https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/issues/554:

When µMatrix is used alongside NoScript, µMatrix is not always fully functional due to something in NoScript causing other addons' custom HTTP channel data/properties being dropped. Some investigation points to NoScript's use of the redirectTo() method on HTTP channel as the likely culprit in recent NoScript versions (testing 2.9.0.12rc1), but it's probably not the only culprit, as this issue occurs with every NoScript version functional on Gecko 45.1.1.

Is this a bug in NoScript or can a workaround be made?

Thanks for the fast response!

I've just realized that redirectTo() was added longer ago than thought: https://noscript.net/changelog#2.6.9.26rc1
I think the oldest working-enough NoScript was some rc of 2.6.9.26, so actually, there were no "pre-redirectTo()" NoScript versions were tested.

Issue fixed in uMatrix (and uBlock Origin) with insights from Giorgio Maone regarding Firefox API internals.
