*Changing the installation flow order from download-then-ask-permission to ask-permission-then-download. We currently download an add-on's .xpi file before the user is asked permission to install it. While it's roughly understandable enough for users to navigate through, the order is backwards compared to the vast majority of similar installation flows. Installing a file before asking both flies in the face of user expectation, and gives the impression at first that we will be installing an add-on without asking permission at all. This may cause users to prematurely cancel an instllation. If we can ask the user's permission first - even with imperfect add-on data - and then download the file, we'll be following a very well expected and utilized model.weafwe<br> | |||
