Are extensions installed via `ExtensionSettings` auto-updated?

I have a few questions regarding the auto-update policy of extensions installed via ExtensionSettings with the force_installed installation mode.

  1. Can the extension receive auto-updates just like extensions installed through normal means? (e.g. extensions installed from https://addons.mozilla.org)
  2. If so, will the user be notified when the extension requests new permissions?

Yes, those extensions are auto updated.

And no, users won't be notified of new permissions.

If permissions change on extensions installed via enterprise, they always stay enabled even when permissions change.
