Firefox image view using css from chrome:// schemed URL

I am running Firefox on Debian Linux. When I view an image directly (e.g: http://localhost/image.png) and I open the element inspector I see the following code:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; height=device-height;"></meta>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="resource://gre/res/ImageDocument.css"></link>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"></link>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="chrome://global/skin/media/TopLevelImageDocument.css"></link>
        <title>
        example.png (PNG Image, 819 × 352 pixels)
        </title>
        <style class="firebugResetStyles" charset="utf-8" type="text/css">
            /* See license.txt for terms of usage */
            /** reset…
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <img class="decoded" src="https://assets.crowdsurge.com/datacapture/example/img/example_logo.png" alt="https://assets.crowdsurge.com/datacapture/example/img/example_logo.png"></img>
    </body>
</html>

I understand that all the server is sending me is the binary image data so this code comes from my browser on the client-side. My question is this:

Why am I seeing a URL with the chrome:// scheme in the third link element in down the head?

This seems to happen irrespective of image viewed.

Below is the contents of the linked css file:

@media not print {
  /* N.B.: Remember to update ImageDocument.css in the tree or reftests may fail! */

  body {
    color: #eee;
    background-image: url("chrome://global/skin/media/imagedoc-darknoise.png");
  }

  img.decoded {
    background: hsl(0,0%,90%) url("chrome://global/skin/media/imagedoc-lightnoise.png");
    color: #222;
  }
}
