I have an add-on which I download from the store in my Firefox, and there is no restart request. But when I install in a new computer with fresh Firefox, it asks for restarting the Firefox. Any specific reason for that?

Hi

Depending on the requirements of the add-on that you wish to install, it may be necessary to restart Firefox. This is not the case with all add-ons and where no restart is required you should be advised in advance.

Actually, I have one app, that show two different behaviors which raised my question as I mentioned in m question.

Apart from that, technically speaking, do u know what makes an add-on to reset the FF or not after installation?
