1523980 - Revoke test pilot install permissions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Andrew Swan [:aswan]]

Now that testpilot.firefox.com no longer installs extensions, lets remove the permissions we've given in, including the xpinstall permission and access to mozAddonManager.

Wil, any reason not to do this now?

Comment 2

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

If people visit the site now, it still tries to uninstall the old add-on. At some point we should move to pushing an update to the add-on that uninstalls itself, but John wanted to give it some time to notify people who had Test Pilot installed.

I think it's reasonable to do this in 67

While we're at it, screenshots.mozilla.org has permission for uitour, is that still used/needed?

Comment 5

[Ian Bicking (:ianbicking)]

We haven't yet replaced the onboarding we're doing for Screenshots with something not hosted at a server, so the uitour permission is still needed. I've created https://github.com/mozilla-services/screenshots/issues/5351 to track that permission removal on the Screenshots side.
