1413712 - All installed extensions' pageActions are always displayed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1413574

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[u583215]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20171101104430

Steps to reproduce:

Install an extension that uses a pageAction.


Actual results:

The pageAction appears on every site. When removed from the address bar, the pageAction reappears when Firefox is relaunched. This occurs with different extensions.


Expected results:

The pageAction should only appear when the extension specifies it should. The user should be able to remove it from the address bar.

I can confirm that Firefox does not remember when an extension’s Page Action was removed from Address Bar.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/njs/
2. It will appear as a Page Action at the right of the "Page actions" three-dots button.
3. Right-click and select "Remove from Address Bar"
4. Quit Firefox Nightly.
5. Restart Firefox Nightly.

Expected results:
The extension’s page action is hidden, and can be accessed in the "Page actions" dropdown.

Actual results:
The extension’s page action is visible at the right of the "Page actions" button.

There are a couple of bugs in comment 0: bug 1413692 and bug 1413574.  I'll dupe this to the latter.
