+| Clearer add-on installation
+| There's a mixed bag of features we want to implement in order to [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Desktop/Clearer_Add-on_Installation improve add-on installation]. The ones we want to include in this proposal are the following: (1) Redesign external install opt-in screen ({{bug|834385}}, (2) The opt-in screen needs to support multiple add-on installs, (3)  Make it possible to completely remove globally installed add-ons from the Add-ons Manager (disable and hide), (4) Make it possible to request add-on install / uninstall from a separate process. All of these mostly concern add-ons being installed by external installers. We want to improve the [https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2011/08/11/strengthening-user-control-of-add-ons/ opt-in screen] that shows up when they are installed that way, and other issues that will make it easier to users to control their experience.
