As suggested by Rob Wu here we should show to users when an addon chosen from the menu to be installed is downloaded and verified - process that is automatically followed by a modal dialog asking the users to accept the addons permissions.

Context: the patch to bug 2069846 introduced a replacement for extension menus, still off by default. If enabled by default it would introduce a regression as elaborated here:

Adding as blocker to bug 2069822 for visibility (otherwise this bug is hidden since the dependency tree hides closed bugs by default).

Blocks: 2069822

After discussing with Aarjav we would use the modal dialog for when downloading and verifying the addon for now
And in Phase 2 of the work (not yet planned) we would re-evaluate and maybe update the UX.

Adding the ticket also to our Jira board to ensure we'll continue to track it.
