841793 - We should display add-ons that don't work on private windows/tabs differently

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Add-on Manager, defect, P5)

Description

[Erik Vold [:erikvold] (please needinfo? me)]

In bug 748604 more specifically bug 820582 we are adding a private-browsing mode to add-ons made with the sdk, in order to prevent add-ons that don't support private windows from accessing them.  Which means that these add-ons won't work on private windows, which is something people might expect to see when there is no indication that the add-on is different.

I'm just a couple of ideas from the top of my head:

- change the background color
- add some warning/informational text to the addon details page, like "This add-on doesn't support private browsing"
- add a private-browsing support on/off icon
