Firefox pushing preliminary/questionable add-on updates

[Gonad the Barbarian]

A couple of days ago Firefox pushed an update for Quickdrag. It hasn't passed final review and has added some nondescript marketing option that's enabled by default. So it might be a good idea to disable those automatic add-on updates.

This is the add-on in question:

I don't understand what that addon does. The functionality it provides is already in the stock right click context menu.

Thanks for the report though for people who use it. That's a lame way to try to generate money :^S

Good thing I check every one of my add-ons thoroughly.

I sling open a lot of tabs when I browse and gesturing is much more convenient than right or middle clicking.

To be fair it does mention the change on the page that loads after the update, but not having it mentioned on the add-on page and Firefox pushing a preliminary versions of add-ons is pretty sketchy IMO.
