Comment (by dcf):

 I found this article describing attachment:select-addons.png:
  * https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2011/08/11/strengthening-user-control-
 of-add-ons/
 There are some prefs related to it, maybe including
 extensions.shownSelectionUI and extensions.autoDisableScopes.

 It might have to do with how the extension is enabled. All I did was set
 this in [https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/blob/c2b76dcc4a854d7cecb44acac2bea1cf23cf51e6:/Bundle-
 Data/PTConfigs/meek-http-helper-user.js#l38 user.js]:
 {{{
 user_pref("extensions.enabledAddons", "meek-http-
 helper at bamsoftware.com:1.0");
 }}}
 I notice that profile.default does something different. I don't know how
 it gets set, but my
 Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default/prefs.js has
 {{{
 user_pref("extensions.enabledAddons", "torbutton%40torproject.org:1.6.12.1

 user_pref("extensions.installCache", "[{\"name\":\"app-
