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.
 
An in-content page will be used to display the list of added items and provide useful options to the user. 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
 
= Bugs =
*{{bug|476430}} - Warn user that a third party add-on has been installed and allow disabling
