Hey Mike.

Your changelog entry:
>   * browser/app/profile/firefox.js: Don't auto-disable extensions in 
> system
>     directories. Closes: #656378 and friends.

Seems to only solve the first of my mentioned points, not the other, 
i.e.:
- It seems that Firefox tries to upgrade Debian-packaged add ons with 
the web-versions, if something newer is enabled.
   It's totally unclear to me, whether this is secure then (like Debian 
packages are secured by signatres), so I always
   manually disable this.
   I think however it should be the default, that Debian package based 
addons are not automatically upgraded.


Shall I reopen, to keep track on this?


Cheers,
Chris.
