Add-on preferences has to use the simplified preferences panel #41

Specifying preferences in the package.json file automatically adds those to the details view of the add-on in the Add-ons Manager. That we we can drop the link from within the panel. See the implementation of the memchaser extension:

the difference here is that the user will need to specify the id, not a hacker or builder of addons. Maybe I am misunderstanding the request.

In that file you only specify a default value, which the user then can change through the add-ons manager's details view for the add-on. In your case it should be empty. Also you want to show a notification that this action has to be done.

I have an RFE implemented and hopefully a patch ready by tomorrow.

My patch will also fix the serious issue in the SDK as reported here: http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2012/02/06/add-on-sdk-1-4-3-released-2/

Joel, that was the reason why the user id has been lost constantly.
