I use a bookmarklet along with a keyword in Firefox to allow querying a bug number in our internal bugzill db. So I can type 'b <bug #>' in the URL bar and it takes me right to the bug. Firefox doesn't directly support bookmarklets, IIRC, so instead I use a custom search engine with a bookmarklet for the URL to accomplish the same thing.

Bookmarklets work correctly for me in Firefox on Linux. It may be a site-specific CSP setting?
