1802571 - useAddonManager: "android-only" should use "temporary" instead of "permanent" when temporarilyInstalled is true

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: General, task)

Description

[Rob Wu [:robwu]]

Mochitests on Android require extensions to be installed through the AddonManager when it uses UI APIs such as tabs. This was addressed in bug 1641735 by introducing the "android-only" value for useAddonManager and translating that to undefined on desktop and permanent on Android.

But "permanent" is not always desirable. For example, the granted_host_permissions flag is only permitted for temporarily installed extensions. In MV3 tests, temporarilyInstalled: true is often set when granted_host_permissions is needed. We should make sure that useAddonManager: "android-only" translates to "temporary" in this case.
