1778559 - Consider just disabling the "load temporary addon" button when addon installation is disabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

Currently we block about:debugging if addons are blocked so that temporary addons can't be loaded.

about:debugging can be useful, we should just disable the button.

Bumping this to see what can be done - I was surprised that blocking extensions except those allowed also blocked remote debugging. (https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/about_colon_debugging/index.html). Now I cannot debug websites loaded in Firefox for Android from my Firefox desktop.

On Chrome, the DevTools is still allowed regardless of Extension policies (and could open DevTools on an enabled webextension as well.

Thanks for the push on this one. Should be straightforward.
