User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0
Steps to reproduce:
By clicking near "Why?" text i managed to uninstall an extension installed by my organization in a monitored Firefox browser.
It is easily reproducible by clicking near the hyperlink (but not directly on it) as i show in my PoC video.
Actual results:
I managed to uninstall the extension without issues.
Expected results:
Firefox should have blocked the uninstall procedure at all.

The video is not accessible without signing in. It's also not clear from comment #0 what specific UI you meant (we have a number of places where enterprise policy notifications may be visible).

Video is now accessible even without signin.

:zombie, do you know what's going on here? This seems to be about how we handle clicks on the uninstall menuitem in the add-on manager when it is supposed to be disabled.

Exactly. The uninstall action is still clickable in a small area of the menuitem. However, even if it seems a GUI issue, Firefox should block the action, even if the uninstall function gets called.

Looks like there's a public bug about this, so let's dupe it over...
