== Summary == | |||
Firefox will have a hardcoded add-on id. When checking for add-on updates (every 24 hours), it will always check for a specific add-on id and install it if an update is found. | |||
== Use Cases to Test == | |||
*We ship a new feature (like http:// hiding) and the user response is extremely negative. We issue an update to the add-on that flips a pref back to old behavior | |||
*We need to distrust a CA. We ship an update to the add-on that makes Firefox distrust it and users are silently updated within 24 hours | |||
*We have a problem with add-ons that require a rebuild of add-on metadata. We issue an empty add-on | |||
*We have an issue that only affects Italian builds. Rather than issue a new Firefox update to everyone, we ship an update to the add-on which only acts when the locale is set to Italian | |||
*We want to blocklist a widely used plugin. We turn on crude click-to-play and whitelist it for known good websites | |||
*We know that Netflix/Hulu/etc does bad user sniffing for a particular Firefox version. We issue an update that drops down a infobar telling users what is happening and to contact the site, or we ship the add-on that changes the user agent on the site while they work on a fix | |||
*We want to speak directly to our users with a one-time marketing message / news flash. We ship an update to the add-on that pops up an infobar with the message and then never shows again | |||
*We want to A/B test a UI pref on beta. We ship the add-on to x% of our population or ship it to all Beta users and have the add-on enable functionality x% of the time | |||
