Unwanted automatic install of extensions - possibly by Mozilla

[adesh]

This is weird. After a week of usage, today, I see two extra extensions installed in my Nightly browser (custom built). The extensions are: ADB Helper and Valence. I did not install these and I don't remember giving any permission of that kind. These extensions seems to be featured/sponsored by Mozilla and somehow they have found a way to leak them into my browser.

So, I guess we have missed some code in addons manager, which still talks to Mozilla.

I think platform specific details are largely irrelevant here, but anyway:
OS: Mac OS 10.13.3 High Sierra

Below is my .mozconfig.

ac_add_options --enable-application=browser

ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse"

ac_add_options --disable-updater
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-parental-controls
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter

export MOZ_TELEMETRY_REPORTING=
MOZ_ADDON_SIGNING=
MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING=
mk_add_options MOZ_PGO=

ac_add_options --enable-jemalloc
ac_add_options --with-pthreads
ac_add_options --enable-strip

Found an old article about the exact same issue: http://techdows.com/2015/08/shocking-fi ... d-ons.html

Confirmed. IMHO, the following settings should be the default (for moebius/UXP):

Code: Select all

devtools.webide.enabled=false
devtools.webide.autoinstallADBHelper=false
devtools.webide.autoinstallFxdtAdapters=false
devtools.webide.autoConnectRuntime=false

But don't you want devtools-as-a-service?
