    Extension manager for Mozilla browsers wanted


    Title says it all. I use Librewolf as my primary browser and Chrome as secondary. I found a handy extension for Chrome that allows you to quickly enable/disable any extension from a drop-down without going into settings.



    Extensions Manager

    I would like an equivalent extension for Firefox/Librewolf but haven't had any luck. I found these two at addons.mozilla.org:

    Extensions Manager Pro – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

    Extension Manager – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

    They don't work at all. Does anyone know of an extension manager for Firefox that actually works?

    I've been using LibreWolf for ages now. Extensions Manager Pro does work for me.


    Forget that. It looks nice but it doesn't successfully toggle selected extensions on or off.

    Hint: You'd need to enable the extensions button on the toolbar and click on that to access the extension.

    Thanks, I'm aware of the extensions button but that is more of an overflow mechanism for buttons that don't fit on the toolbar. It also doesn't enable/disable extensions. I have a really good extension manager for older Mozilla browsers (XUL) but it doesn't work on newer WebEx browsers. Bummer.

    I tried creating new profiles and selectively adding addons. I was not too successful.

    If you always disable the same addons for some browsing sessions then maybe just install FloorP and run it when needed.

    Floorp

    Choose installer:

    Download - Floorp

    I do like that it includes a choice of Lepton on install if that's your thing.

    I'm sticking with Librewolf but FloorP isn't too bad either.

    Those browser manager extensions didn't work in FloorP either.

    I have something similar setup in Librewolf.

    I have created a bookmark in my browser toolbar with the following URL:

    about:addons

    Not as elegant as a dropdown menu like the chrome extension but I guess it'll have to do until someone makes a working extension manager for Mozilla browsers. Thanks for your help.

    I just go through Tools> Addons

    Anyway to save you the bother of trying this method (if you stumble across it) - it does not work. I imported the files correctly but never got a toolbar button.
