Is there a way to keep users from disabling any addons?
Norton Family Online, a parental control, installs an addon. It can be disabled by my child. (Stupid) Is there a way to keep my child from disabling this addon?

Firefox has no built-in parental control features, but see the Block and unblock websites with parental controls on Firefox article and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Parental_controls for some options.
IMO, Norton shouldn't be using an add-on to implement a feature like that - it is stupid on Norton's part. Implementing something like that at the browser level is just plain wrong; a user could use a Portable App browser to bypass it. System level protection is the correct method to use, and for all user accounts.
Like closing a barn door to keep the animals inside the barn, when there are no walls at the back or sides of that barn. Looks good from the front, but ineffective.
