This is great. If FF updates and removes the tweak will it uninstall the extensions or otherwise mess them up?

Two notes on updates:

1) It will break partial updates, which means the first update attempt will fail, and then Firefox will fall back to a full update (larger, slower).

2) After the update is applied, yes - it will remove the tweak (because the enterity of omni.ja will have been replaced).

The extensions will just be disabled until the script is rerun.
