No, they don't (unless there is some strange bug). After a version upgrade of Firefox they might get checked one time but I hardly notice that here (as someone having -common installed and in use). Linux still is a multi user system and we want to provide the common languages on a machine. Therefore this is the best approach IMHO. Anyway people who do not like that can still block *-translations-* and install language packs in their own profile.
I don't know, I don't an opinion yet.
Maybe I'd like the addons not to be enabled by default, just only installed.
Yeah, I've faced this several times now, too, and I always thought, why I should have to deactivate lots of language packs in the first place. I agree with Carlos that the stuff should just be installed, and whenever you need _one_ additional language, just go there and activate _one_ -- instead of having to deactivate lots...
I still don't understand why you would disable them? I never do that and I do not face any issues. If they are disabled Firefox wouldn't be able to use them dynamically given that Firefox on openSUSE uses the user's locale by default (if installed and enabled). Why would I expect the user to enable and switch to the one he actually can expect to be used by default anyway (as all other applications under Linux usually)?
IIRC, my daughters were trapped at some point in time by Firefox not honoring the LANG environment variable; when I found out that so many language extenstions had been installed, I told them to try disabling most of them, and it worked. That was the basic reason for me to always disable them...
