So, there are two things:
- This is supposed to only happen once, so this should only happen when
  you upgrade from an older version to version 10. The
  extensions.shownSelectionUI preference should be true after the dialog
  is shown and this shouldn't show up for any subsequent update.
- Language packs shouldn't show up in there, but that it shows up for
  other addons is the intended behaviour, although it might be better to
  default to keep, for them.
