Comment (by mcs): Kathy and I looked at the various system extensions that are present on Mozilla's current beta branch (52). Here is what we learned about each of them: '''aushelper''' Modifies app.update.url default pref value to include info for bug 1296630 The add-on only has an effect on Windows. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1311515 A similar issue for WebSense was handled via the "HotFix" add-on. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1298404 and https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/firefox- hotfixes/file/tip/v20160826.01/bootstrap.js This revision of the HotFix add-on only has an effect on Windows. There is a bug open for moving the WebSense update URL modification code into the aushelper add-on: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1329692 '''disableSHA1rollout''' Disable SHA-1 based certificates for 10% of beta channel users.
