Hiding add ons window on start up

Hi! I am using firefox portable 3.6.8 on a flash drive and I'd like to hide the add-ons window on start up. It regularly appears when I start FF on a machine where I didnot close FF due to the installation of some add ons (such as - I guess - NoScript or AdBlock Plus). I dont know and I dont want to knwo why add ons have to be installed locale, what the do obviously, and I dont want them to stop that. Please, just tell me the about:config key to prevent at add on window on start up - it's annoying and it slows down FF! Thanks

This forum is about Firefox for mobile phones. You might get better answers at the desktop Firefox support site or the Firefox Portable forum.

I don't know a way to disable the add-on window on startup in Firefox 3.6, but you might be happy to know that Firefox 4 will no longer have a popup window for add-ons. You can download a beta release of Firefox 4.
