Add-ons

The AddonManager object is the global API used to access information about add-ons installed in the application and to manipulate them. The majority of the methods are asynchronous meaning that results are delivered through callbacks passed to the method. The callbacks will be called just once but that may be before or after the method returns.

One of the forces of the AddonManager is that it deals with any kind (type) of add-on in a generic manner. To do so many methods of the AddonManager take the add-on types as parameters. The existing add-on types are defined in XPIProvider.jsm and are, at this time, the following: extension, theme, locale, multipackage.

To import the AddonManager object in the Add-on SDK, use:

const { AddonManager } = require("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");

To import it in a normal bootstrapped extension or similar, use:

Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");

This normally means the application determined that an application change has made the add-on compatible. This doesn't include add-ons that were pending becoming enabled the last time the application was running.
