Comment (by cypherpunks):

 >FF doesn't let you install addons with protocol-less or HTTP updateURLs,
 it seems
 Why we need install addons? What happens if to use TBB with already
 "installed" such addons? If you tries to solve problem by breaking some
 functional then probably using TBB with updateURL that breaking any tries
 to fetch would be better?
