Browser extensions at times---particularly when I have multiple tabs open, will NOT REMAIN TOGGLED OFF. (i.e. DISABLED) I slide the toggle to OFF, and in roughly 10 seconds it toggles itself back on. So, Short of closing the multiple tabs I have open and or clearing my caches and shutting down my browser and restarting it, is there a way to DISABLE extension(s) that WILL NOT remain DISABLED by making some change in the "INSPECT" menu or in the "about:config" menu? This is REALLY ANNOYING!

This has been happening for about two / three years. I'm just now inquiring for help with this issue. I'd be surprised there isn't some way to disable browser extensions that WILL NOT remain disabled, using advanced methods, i.e., something a intermediate PC user that can tweak / change.

Hello. No, the issue is they Will Not Stay Toggled Off, Particularly when I have roughly six tabs open, and for example, I become aware that my Language Tool browser extension has ceased to proofread my spelling / grammar, I disable the extension and re-enable it, this then fixes THAT problem wherein the said extension will begin to proofread. But Sometimes, as I mentioned before, if I have / have had several tabs open, the extension will NOT remain toggled off---after about 8-10 seconds, the toggle slides itself back to the ON position!

There must be some way to shut the defiant extension(s) down in some maneuver, without having to shut the browser down and re-start it, just to get the extensions to NOT toggle back on by themselves.
