This is a great change. I wonder how long before the hate brigade comes along and complains.

It’s not clear whether it’s a useless disclosure or enforced by the API.

Some extensions have a verified/recommended by Mozilla seal of approval, so these extensions would be checked by a human to see that they comply.
Obviously they can’t check every update of every extension in existence, but even just the above is an improvement and certainly not useless.
I don’t think this could be enforced by the API without also seriously limiting what extensions can do, which people would go crazy about if they did.

You’ve got a downvote, so it seems not long. 😄
