492019 - Message erroneously displayed on add-on usability

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Ryan Li]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090506 Minefield/3.6a1pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090506 Minefield/3.6a1pre

With extensions.checkCompatibility set to false, after applying a compatibility update of an already enabled extension(which originally doesn't support nightly version), add-on manager says: "This add-on will be enabled when Minefield is restarted"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set extensions.checkCompatibility as false
2. Install an extension that is not compatible with the latest version
3. Check for extension updates and apply a compatibility update
Actual Results:  
"This add-on will be enabled when Minefield is restarted" displayed

Expected Results:  
Nothing

This may be hard to reproduce, additionally, for some unknown reason, at first firefox indicates my DOM Inspector 2.0.3 and Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper 1.0.5 as incompatible(actually they're compatible), and when I chose to find updates, firefox applies the compatibility updates.
