Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

We currently do not provide adequate warning to users that new third-party provided add-ons have been installed. This project will ensure that users opt-in to all add-ons that aren't installed through the Firefox UI.

This feature falls primarily in the Experience category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)

2. Users & use cases

  • Make users aware when new add-ons have been installed that they may not know about
    • Users should be able to opt out of such add-ons before the add-on's code has a chance to run

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

  • Developed UI must pass UI review
  • Feature should be covered by automated tests
  • Feature must have passed security review

Non-goals

  • Support removing other applications on the system from within Firefox
