I have unpinned all installed extensions page action from address bar to keep them in the page actions menu only. But after some time (and usually after restart) they move to the address bar again, probably after they are first shown in the code. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 ID:20171101104430 The installed add-ons in questions are Awesome RSS 1.1.2 and Pontoon Tools 2.0.2.

Thanks for filing this, I'll take a look.

I think I blew it with the onShutdown change in ext-pageAction.js. We shouldn't call browserPageAction.remove() when simply quitting the app.

Is bug 1413712 a dupe of this?

This fixes it. I tested it manually. Is there any way to write a test for this? To send a mock webextension an APP_SHUTDOWN I guess.

You can use promiseStartupManager and promiseShutdownManager in an xpcshell test. I'm not so certain however if you can test against CUI from xpcshell. The extension needs to be created with {useAddonManager: "temporary"}, you'll see that in most tests under toolkit/components/extensions/test/xpcshell test_ext_browserSettings.js is a good example of using these.

Hmm, it may be possible to test PageActions.jsm outside of the browser, at least for this specific bug. It might require it to be reworked a little. I'll try. (PageActions isn't related to CUI (unfortunately!).) I should also take a closer look at how CUI is handling this... Does it just never purge the placement of widgets from extensions?

This includes a test. I found I had to use {useAddonManager: "permanent"} to get it to work.

Let's see if this fixes the test failures... https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=e32166c34192

Yes, try looks good now.

Thanks Shane, this addresses your comments. One more try push and then I'll land this. https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=b7e1b8930ef5

Typically we would run browser.pageAction.show|hide in the addon, with the default that it is not shown until show() is called.

Bug 1413574 renames shownInUrlbar to pinnedInUrlbar, and it maps the webextension show()/hide() methods to the PageActions disabled state. Pinning is controlled by the user, and the disabled state is controlled by the extension. An action is shown in the urlbar only if it's both pinned and not disabled. All webextension actions start off pinned but disabled, so it's up to each extension to call show() as appropriate.

The patch works for me in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 ID:20171108110838. Unpinned icons stay in the menu and pinned ones in the address bar too.
