Steps to reproduce:
The access to the file system is extremely important for debugging release versions of add-ons or distribute add-ons settings with the test addons.
Actual results:
The error message (in addition) from users could previously be accompanied by the installation of a test version of add-ons on their browsers with the same addon id and settings. When this extension was completely identical to the behavior when starting the browser (which not provides about:debugging).
Now its prevents the need for using signature add-ons.
So looking for other ways to debug.
Expected results:
USE CASE 1
1. The user should be able to provide detailed logs if he gets an error and developer cannot be repeated.
2. A developer wants get full user setting the additions. It is easiest to implement if it's possible to export the settings to the file.
USE CASE 2
It is possible to transfer add-on settings between different versions of the add-on or between different user profiles (to set up similar profiles).
