Comment 2

[FF]

The addon with GUID {157cd8f9-48f0-43a1-9bcf-c4316753e084} in the description has an explicitly described action: "SD App configures your default search settings to SearchPrivacyPlus.com".
Since the add-on has explicit code, there is no remedy code injection and behaves as described: "SD App configures your default search settings to SearchPrivacyPlus.com", ie its behavior is fully predictable and transparetne why is it blocked?

FF, The add-on does this in a way that is not allowed.

The block has been staged. Philipp, can you please review and push?

Comment 4

[FF]

In the block request: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1532075 you deemed the correct substitution of the main page and the new tab.
I do not understand the lack of consistency in making decisions.
