I've noticed that any third-party program can add a "plug-in" to Firefox without permission.
I think that this can cause safety as well as compatibility problems.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools
2. Addons (about:addons)
3.
Expected Results:
I would like to have Firefox check for new unauthorized "plug-in" at launch, just like it checks for extension compatibility. Then present the option of letting the user keep the new "plug-ins" or remove them.
How would Firefox know you didn't authorise a plugin at the time you installed that third-party program?
