Waterfox: Feature request: Remove warning "Addon" is incompatible with Waterfox 56.3

You guys did a great job so that addons and web extensions worked on Waterfox. The entire picture is spoiled only by these yellow warnings:
incompatible
Can you create some prefs to disable this?

Nope. Best way remove it`s globaly from waterfox code. I don鈥檛 understand why they didn鈥檛 do it a long time ago. Only confuses users. Because everything works fine.

No. It's different. All my addons and web extension fully working. I just need to remove these annoying warnings without editing install.rdf and manifest.json inside them.

To my knowledge, there's only 2 ways to remove the warning message.

1) By re-enabling add-ons that are disabled.

2) Remove/Uninstall the add-ons that are reflecting the warning message.

There may be other ways that I'm not, personally, aware of.

Don't bother, this warning can still bring attention to extensions capable of breaking the browser.

But optionally, you can create a pref in order to disable these annoying warnings. For experienced users of course. By default, it will be "false". To whom the warnings disturb will switch to "true".

I installed that extension and haven't that warning.

Of course. Because you installed ANOTHER extension. This is my personal fork. Fully signed and with disabled update check. Do not pay attention to the extension. I just brought it as an example of a problem with annoying warnings.

If you need real-world test, then fresh install "CanvasBlocker". Then disable internet and install again only from xpi file and you see.
