1801515 - It's possible for extensions (like LeechBlock NG) to override the attention dot and message by updating the extension name

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Itiel]

STR:

1. Install https://addons.mozilla.org/he/firefox/addon/leechblock-ng/
2. Navigate to google.com
3. Open the UEP and hover the LeechBlock NG UEI => the message is being changed to "Open extension" and then immediately reverts back to "Can always read ..."
4. Manually add the attention=true attribute on the toolbaritem => it gets removed immediately after

This is because the extension is constantly updating the extension name.
This can happen also when the extension is placed in the toolbar (where the dot would disappear).
