= Goals / Use Cases =
 
* Notify users that Firefox has spotted new system extensions
** Provide users with a choice of which extensions to leave enabled

= Design =
 
The feature will make system extensions disabled during the first run of Firefox after they are installed. Users will then be able to choose to keep them disabled otherwise they will become active the next time that Firefox is restarted.
 
The [[Firefox/Projects/Doorhanger_notifications|doorhanger notification]] UI will be used to display the detected extensions during the first run.
 
Later the extensions will still be present in the add-ons manager for enabling/disabling as usual.
 
= Current Progress=
 
* Detecting and disable the extensions during the first run is complete
* Front end code that re-enables the extensions is complete
* The UI is waiting for mockups and the doorhanger notifications API to be completed.
 
= Bugs =
*{{bug|476430}} - Warn user that a third party add-on has been installed and allow disabling
