Details

If you have a pending non-restartless install, currently you must set any properties on the addon (such as userDisabled) during onInstallStarted. If you wait until after that, the changes won't get written to the staged JSON file, and thus are lost on restart.

This is the underlying cause of bug 712542, where sync was setting those properties after onInstallStarted.
