Hi; I noticed when I check trouble shooting info, That the following addons are shown Amazon.co.uk extension 1.1 true amazon@search.mozilla.org Bing extension 1.0 true bing@search.mozilla.org DuckDuckGo extension 1.0 true ddg@search.mozilla.org FolderFlags extension 1.6.0 true {2bc419d0-6cf3-11da-8494-000a95be0946} Google extension 1.0 true google@search.mozilla.org Wikipedia (en) extension 1.0 true wikipedia@search.mozilla.org

The only addon that shows up in extensions in settings is Folderflags. Are the Amazon, Bing, Google, Wikipedia, DuckDuckGo extensions needed? If Not how do I disable/delete them? Why are they there and not listed in Extensions?

Trying to troubleshoot issues and wondering if one of them is the issue.

TIA

They aren't extensions that can be removed like regular ones, they are just the available entries in the Default Search Engine in Settings/General. I've never heard of them causing issues, and anyway they are present in safe/troubleshoot mode.
