1781998 - Hidden add-ons in the unified extensions panel

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, enhancement, P2)

Description

[William Durand [:willdurand]]

The "spec" we initially had didn't account for hidden extensions. The panel was supposed to only list visible and active extensions like about:addons.

That being said, it seems possible for a hidden add-on to have browser actions. In which case, we might want to show this hidden add-on in the unified extensions UI.

Comment 1

[Shane Caraveo (:mixedpuppy)]

notes:

• builtin and system are automatically hidden, but none currently use browser_action.
• some line extensions use browser_action
• page and sidebar action are probably a non-issue if hidden

considered approach:

• make hidden and browser_action or action mutually exclusive.
