1247541 - Unable to uninstall unsigned extensions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 640775

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[axz10]

Attachment: ff45_unable_to_remove_unsigned_extension.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160208194709

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have an unsigned extension that is installed before 45.x
2. Upgrade to 45
3. Extensions properly gets disabled but from that point on there seems to be no way to remove it.


Actual results:

"Remove" button is not there for automatically disabled extensions.  (Nor there's a way to re-enable them which is by design.)


Expected results:

There should be some way to remove these extensions; most likely via still having the "Remove" button.

This isn't because the extension is unsigned, it is because the extension was installed by another application on your system.
