This passes around the "are we external" bit of load information a bunch, such that the external protocol handling code has access to it. In this bug and bug 1667468, I think ideally I would have used a check if we're the OS default for a given protocol before continuing. However, this information is currently unavailable on Linux (bug 1599713), and worse, I believe is likely to remain unavailable in flatpak and other such restricted environments (cf. bug 1618094 - we aren't able to find out anything about protocol handlers from the OS). So instead, we prompt the user if we are about to open a link passed to us externally. There is a small chance this will be Breaking People's Workflows, where I don't know whether anyone relies on Firefox happily passing these URIs along to the relevant application (more convenient than doing all the registry/API work yourself in scripts!) or anything like that. To help with that, there's a pref, `network.protocol-handler.prompt-from-external`, that can be created and set to false to avoid prompting in this case.
