1343518 - Sideloading notification is still displayed after removing the webextension

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect, P5)

Description

[Vasilica Tamas, QA [:vtamas]]

[Note]
This is a follow-up bug for Bug 1334096

[Affected versions]:
Firefox 54.0a1 (2017-02-27)

[Affected platforms]:
Windows 10 64-bit
Mac OS X 10.12.1


[Steps to reproduce]:
1.Launch Firefox with clean profile.
2.Create extensions.webextPermissionPrompts and set it to true.
3.Install via sideloading method a webextension with permissions. 
4.After reopening the browser, navigate to about:add-ons and remove the sideloaded webextension.


[Expected Results]:
The sideloading notification is no longer displayed in Panel menu after removing the webextension - But I’m not sure this is the right behavior considering that there is an “Undo” button which cancels the removal action. 


[Actual Results]:
- Sideloading notification remains displayed after removing the webextension if permissions pop-up was not triggered. 
- See attached screencast.

Support for extension sideloading has ended. Closing this as WFM.
