The flags are mostly replaced by the behaviours of the install locations. <code>locked</code> and <code>appManaged</code> simply apply to all add-ons in the application directory. The exception is <code>hidden</code> which no longer exists for regular add-ons. If system administrators need to install an add-on that the user cannot see then they can do so by including it as a regular distribution bundle. These will not show up in the extension manager. The only downside is that certain add-ons may not work there if they use certain APIs like the nsIInstallLocation APIs to find their files. | The flags are mostly replaced by the behaviours of the install locations. <code>locked</code> and <code>appManaged</code> simply apply to all add-ons in the application directory.
