This is an add-on being worked on for project Squeaky. Its purpose is to be distributed by the SUMO team to users who are having one of the most common SUMO problems (My homepage/search settings changed, how do I reset them?).
This add-on monitors 4 settings: default search engine, location bar search, new tab URL, user agent string, and homepage. For the homepage we only look for certain domains that we know are generally set without the user's consent. For all the others we just check if they're set to a non-default value.
Upon installation, if any changes are detected, the add-on shows a dialog listing the changed settings and giving users the option to reset them to their default values.
The add-on is already implemented and working, but its UI probably needs work. The purpose of this bug is to track the UX review in the usual way. I'll upload some screenshots shortly.

The popup if nothing has changed seems a bit too much. Can't we do a doorhanger or something else?

Mass-closing bugs that relate to legacy versions of add-ons or are otherwise no longer worth tracking. Please comment if you think this bug should be reopened.
Sorry for the bugspam. Made you look, though!
