Bug#840345: firefox-esr: update packaged add-ons automatically
Hi Mike, Really I don't know if it depends on the setting or not. I've used Iceweasel with noscript for several years and it has never updated the add-on, and this was good, even if the packaged version was outdated (and usually it was). In my opinion updating automatically the add-ons should not be a good practice, even if the behavior is new or not, otherwise packaging noscript has little sense (it will be replaced by the upstream version as soon as a new version will be released).

Bug#840345: firefox-esr: update packaged add-ons automatically
Subject: firefox-esr: update packaged add-ons automatically
Package: firefox-esr
Version: 45.4.0esr-1~deb8u2
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
After the transition from Iceweasel to Firefox-ESR, the browser is now
configured to update add-ons automatically.
This apply also to packaged add-ons that are quite different than the upstream
version (e.g. noscript).
I tagged this bug with "wishlist" because it's easy to find a (per-user)
workaround. However I'm not sure that allowing autoupdates is compliant with
the Debian policies; in this case please increase the severity.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Athos Toniolo
