In the mailing list I was told to go through settings --> addons to remove them. However, I had expected to be able to do some from the Hackerplace since it is there where I installed the add-ons to begin with. I never thought I would need to go to the settings app.

Armen, were you able to remove you add-ons using settings? If so, I think this is more of a feature request for marketplace, which we are killing hackerplace in favor of for add-ons in 2.5.

Confirmed the bug and findings at comment 4. All configurations for Add-ons installed from Hackerplace app sits at Settings > Add-ons page. This sounds more like a feature request for Hackerplace app to implement configurations on add-ons installed via the app. Off topic: None of the add-ons worked for me though. Tried rebooting and still don't see them being activated. Tested on: Device: Aries 2.5 BuildID: 20150819130905 Gaia: 8f77edf3ac39d36f6df0f5517223d3ed35ed89e0 Gecko: d590b9601ba8138b621b2553daefd8823ab4295a Gonk: 2916e2368074b5383c80bf5a0fba3fc83ba310bd Version: 43.0a1 (2.5) Firmware Version: D5803_23.1.A.1.28_NCB.ftf User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:43.0) Gecko/43.0 Firefox/43.0

Redirecting over to marketplace then. I don't think we can include this for 2.5, but let's keep this bug here to track it.

IIRC, the uninstalls in 2.5+ should be coming from FxOS settings. If this is intended to be a request to allow that functionality from within Marketplace... I wonder if the audience should be more broad for this discussion.

I think it was clarification on the nature of this bug. I think it's this:
> This sounds more like a feature request for Hackerplace
> app to implement configurations on add-ons installed via the app.
If that's the case, then we can s/Hacker/Market/ and I get it.

Note that currently, the only API to uninstall an app/addon is through navigator.mozApps.mgmt.uninstall(), which is limited to certified apps. Marketplace, being only a privileged app, does not have access to that API.

Can we send users from the Hackerplace to "Settings -> addons" to uninstall add-ons? (Since the Hackerplace is not a privileged app) We can't install addons from the Marketplace, can we? (Since I see Marketplace and Hackerplace used interchangeably in this bug)

Hackerplace should soon be replaced by Marketplace for the source of Add-ons, that's why the bug has been moved there.

And Marketplace doesn't function as a Consumer Mgmt Portal (at least not for now) where a user can go to marketplace.firefox.com being logged in and see what apps/add-ons/etc. has been installed and where, nor able to remotely uninstalled/remove content nor being able to send it.. But if IoT comes in place - with watches and TV and other devices where on-device management is tricky of various reasons, maybe Marketplace would need to become that management portal However, managing Add-ons is done from the device: Settings -> Addons where addons can be disabled and deleted and Add-ons can be discovered (links to the add-on catalogue in Marketplace)
