Today I have found an issue regarding the installation of the default theme and that it was not listed in the new add-ons manager. After digging into the problem I have noticed that extensions.enabledScopes pref was accidentally set to '0'. Means no extensions should be installed at all. But opening the extensions pane showed me all my profile installed extensions.

Don't we correctly check against the SCOPE_PROFILE constant and still install profile located extensions even when it is not permitted?

You aren't meant to be able to turn off loading profile extensions with this pref, it would just be too complex a case to support and I can't think of a real reason why anyone would want to.

So it's only a placeholder? Can we please document this correctly then? It will leave wrong assumptions to consumers of this code right now.

Dave, can we also update:

I assume that most people will run a search via mxr as looking on MDN.
