Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
We want to make add-on installation as clear as possible for end users, so that they understand what they're installing and why. It must also be easy for users to get rid of installed add-ons that they no longer want.
- bug ? - Make it so that add-ons installed from trusted sources are more easily installed (one click?).
- bug ? - Redesign external install opt-in screen.
- bug 834385 - about:newaddon should support messages from the vendor, read from install.rdf
- bug 769495 - The opt-in screen needs to support multiple add-on installs.
- bug 640775 - Make it possible to completely remove globally installed add-ons from the Add-ons Manager (disable and hide).
- bug ? - Remind users about add-ons the have installed.
- bug 879480 - Make it possible to request add-on install / uninstall from a separate process.
2. Users & use cases
End users are the primary target here, specially less knowledgeable users who are more likely to install malicious or unwanted add-ons unknowingly.
