Details

This bug is a suggestion to make it possible to uninstall the add-on directly from the Toolbar. 

Claim: Less users would leave add-ons installed unintentionally with this change.

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Install any add-on with a browser action
2. Realize that you would like to remove the add-on
3. Right-click on the add-on's browser action

[Expected result]:
- The context menu should include an option to uninstall - "Remove from Firefox"
- Clicking on it should uninstall the add-on

[Actual result]:
- The context menu only includes an option to remove the icon from the Toolbar - "Remove from Toolbar"
- Clicking on it will only remove the add-on icon from the Toolbar but keeps the add-on installed. To actually install it, the following needs to be performed:

1. Click the menu button and choose Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
2. In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions or Themes panel.
3. Select the add-on you wish to remove.
4. Click the Remove button.
