Thanks, so now it is known which way docs should be updated.

New behavior is more correct. It is consistent with <a 
href="javascript:..."> links and allows to generate a HTML document to 
display.

You may create your own extension. Unfortunately Firefox releases for 
users require signing of extensions. Chromium is more liberal, after 
enabling developer mode it is possible to install unpacked extensions. 
In Firefox it can be only temporary loaded for the current session.

Some people publish extension code, but not its signed package:
