There are now about 10 items in the Nightly installation folder under Browser -> Features.
I've looked at this page -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Fir ... l_features, but I'm not sophisticated enough to understand it .
Is there a page somewhere that explains these "Features" in simple terms?
Thanks.
P.S. To be honest, I simply delete them, and Nightly seems to function normally.

Re: Items in Browser->Features folder
Those XPIs are/were called system addons which are completely unrelated to the link you referenced.
Not many information can be found from google search. This is one of the top links:
https://gecko.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ... ddons.html
firefox@getpocket.com.xpi should be the pocket integration (which many hates it).
webcompat@mozilla.org.xpi and webcompat-reporter@mozilla.org.xpi may be related to the "Report Site Issue" feature.

I guess those xpis will come back every time you install a Firefox/Nightly update, unless you do some workarounds.Mozilla announced in mid-2015 that it would turn specific features of Firefox into system add-ons in the near future. The idea behind the move was to make updates to these features independent from browser updates.

OK, thank you. When the update function works as it should (about 1 in 5), they don't. When I have to go into the install folder and take the contents out of the "Updated" folder, they do.Fanolian wrote:...

It's no big deal. I just don't want them on my machine, though I'm sure they're part of somebody's beta-tester concept. They're definitely not part of mine.
