Details

Right now, we never remove our preferences when the addon gets uninstalled[0], so our prefs stick around forever. We should call deleteBranch() on the branch when the addon gets removed (but not on updates!). This is not very critical, but still nice to have. Also, this should be a fairly easy patch, so if someone stumbles upon this issue and feels like contributing, ping me on IRC (denschub) and I'm happy to do some mentoring.

Priority: -- → P3

We're no longer a bootstrapped addon.
