Close Firefox. 4. Log Off Log in as an ordinary user: 1. Start Firefox 2. Check updates availability: a) "Help" -> "Check for Updates..." menu item - disabled (this is okay, no write permission) b) "Tools" -> "Add-ons" -> "Extensions" -> "Яндекс.Бар 4.2.0": * Extension's "Uninstall" button - disabled (NOT okay) * Extension's "Uninstall" and "Find Update" context menu items - disabled (NOT okay) 3.
