Perhaps not; however, I don't think it's actually possible to fix the 
issue properly. Firefox only provides an API to intercept loaded data 
for HTTP/S, and there doesn't seem to guarantee Firefox won't start 
running any code it's received before LibreJS has had a look at it.

I believe the same problem affects NoScript; many times I have opened a 
local file containing MathJax in a new tab and had my text marked up 
despite JavaScript being blocked.
