Sure! 
From a clean state the option in about:config called: app.update.mode should be set to 1.

A third test is to select update only desktop, turn off the checkbox for addon compat, select metro + desktop updates again (this will disable the checkbox).  Press OK to save the options.  Go back to the same page, you should see that the disabled checkbox for add-on compat is checked on.
