 Installing add-ons for Tor Browser is not recommended, however if someone
 does install add-ons, the browser by default should not check for updates
 for those extensions, which might be used to track specific users' or
 groups' Tor Browser usage over time. If someone isn't concerned about
 that, they can manually turn on automatic updates after installing those
 extensions.
