I guess this is as good a place as any to ask about a certain question regarding extensions.
With Chrome, I can control whether extensions update automatically and also have extensions disabled until I activate them for a certain page, and then they remain activated for that session.
Do I have such control for Firefox? With it being so difficult to trust extension developers, yet with some extensions being quite necessary for me, I find especially the ability to have extensions deactivated until I explicitly want them for each session very important.
- mackrevinack 5y agoim not sure whether you can disable them for certain pages but there is a checkbox setting in the extensions page that stops anything from auto-updating. i have this set in my user.js file with this line: user_pref("extensions.update.enabled", "false"); i have nearly 20-25 extensions myself and im pretty sure they are all open source. when i was using chrome (a long time ago) i only had one or two open source and the rest were closed. its helps when you find some extension that does something really basic but you dont know if its trustworthy or not. usually theres not a whole lot of code to look through
