I'm looking for an Add-on Manager. I have way too many addons. I enable many of them for development, disable them afterwards. I can't search Installed Addons. What do?
I am in a bit of a pickle. I'm a developer, and I also use some crypto social media, and I also like downloading media sometimes, I do a lot of stuff. I modify CSS, I script & hack the web, yadda yadda. Basically what this means is I ended up with like 50 addons I juggle-enable-disable all the time. This is extremely frustrating without some kind of grouping them, or at the very least searching only among my installed addons to enable/disable.
Do you guys have any idea if a tool or method exists to solve this problem?
@kill How about creating a second Firefox profile dedicated to development? I did that for a different reason, to create a PDF viewer using Firefox. It has the right settings and addons only active when viewing a PDF. This idea could be used to have a dedicated development environment which does not interfere with your personal data and configuration. And you can back them up and restore individually.
To add on to this, I find using the profile switcher addon makes this process a lot more painless and similar to chrome's. The main downside of the addon is that it doesn't work until you actually launch the browser, so no launching from desktop/taskbar with this.
The native process is clunky imo. To launch a specific profile from desktop you need a shortcut that points to a batch file that runs a command like "firefox.exe -P profilename"
You can now search for addons since the last 2 firefox versions thanks to a single contributor.
Before that you had to open a new tab -> ctrl+f -> ctrl+shift+a
