In my CCleaner (v4.17.4808) Tools/Startup/... I'm able to see Firefox system add-ons (native to browser), and too rogue extensions/add-ons in browsers.
You have the possibility to Enable, Disable, Delete them. But don't make disable the Firefox system addons... - Pocket maybe?.. what do you think?
Pocket "are ad revenue for Mozilla"... firefox@getpocket.com.xpi - "Pocket for me it's useless and a security hole" - read on forums.mozillazine.org: Rise of the System Add-ons • mozillaZine Forums - and read on this link too:
"there are 2 ways to disable them
#1 safe way is with about:config in the filter box type the addon name (pocket) and set the boolean to disabled for example
extensions.pocket.enabled; false
if you'd like to try the screenshot addon just set
extensions.screenshots.system-disabled; false
extensions.screenshots.disabled; false
#2 unsafe is to remove those xpi files ?"
-- so I've Disabled Pocket with CCleaner, no problem, easy!
{ - see installed by you (NOT system) add-ons (too...) in: about:support or about:debugging ...}
I have these system add-ons in my Firefox ESR 52.5.3:
Multi-process staged rollout
Application Update Service Helper
Pocket (Disabled by me)
Web Compat
