I don't think it's really that much of a problem.

I mean, what's the *damage* to the user in leaving the DOM Inspector and
the Javascript Debugger installed? Most newbies will never notice them.

The kind of user who will notice them is also the one slightly more
computer-savvy, who pokes around the program to find what it can do. And
one of the first things these users are likely to find and mess with is
exactly the add-on manager -- add-ons are a big draw to the Mozilla
platform, after all. So if she figures that she doesn't need those
add-ons, she can uninstall them.
