management

Get information about installed add-ons.

With themanagement API you can:

get information about installed add-ons
enable/disable add-ons
uninstall add-ons
find out which permission warnings are given for particular add-ons or manifests
get notifications of add-ons being installed, uninstalled, enabled, or disabled.

Most of these operations require the "management"API permission. Operations that don't provide access to other add-ons don't require this permission.
