I know, and I think that's wrong, and I specified what I think what the
behavior should be changed to, at least for HTTPS-E and NoScript. I'm not
sure about what behavior for random other things users decide to install
should be, in general I think they have other more fundemental problems
than the updater when they do that...
Coincidentally, the Linux sandbox disables the addon updater by default.
