(In reply to Vasilica Mihasca, QA [:vasilica_mihasca] from comment #0) > [Expected Results]: > b) Removing the add-on should also discard the permissions pop-up. That sounds great and matches what we hoped to achieve with showing about:addons while surfacing the dialog. - users being able to remove the side-loaded extension easily if the don't want it.

This issue also reproduces for background updates, should I file a new bug or it will be fixed by this one?

It would be great if you could add a gif of that second case and modify the title of the bug to reflect the more general problem.

The background updates reproduces this issue a bit different, after the WebExtension is removed from about:addons, if you press the “Update” button from the pop-up will install the latest WebExtension version and it will be displayed in about:addons.
