Quickly manage extensions and their permissions using the extensions button in the toolbar.

The extensions button introduced in [[Find what version of Firefox you are using|Firefox version]] 109 lets you quickly remove, report and manage extensions and their permissions directly from the toolbar. The extensions you've installed will appear in the extensions panel. If an extension doesn't appear in the panel, it may already be pinned to the toolbar. To learn how to customize the extensions in your toolbar, see [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]. Click the jigsaw puzzle icon in the toolbar to open the extensions panel:<br> [[Image:Unified_extensions|width=400]] __TOC__ =Permission notifications= After installing an extension, if you navigate to a website that requires permissions for the extension to work, the extensions button will display a notification dot. If the extension is already pinned in the toolbar, the notification dot will appear below the extension icon.<br> [[Image:unified_extensions_notifications]] When the extension needs access to the current page, a notification dot also appears under the extension icon in the panel:<br> [[Image:extensionsNotificationDot]] When the extension already has access (or does not need any) and it opens a panel as part of its functionality, this panel is anchored to the extensions button:<br> [[Image:unifiedExtensionsRelay|width=350]] =Manage extensions permissions= #Click the extensions button in the toolbar. #Locate the extension with the green notification dot in the panel. #;[[Image:unifiedExtensionsDot]] #Click the menu button (gear icon) to manage its permissions. #Select the permissions you wish to grant to the extension. #;[[Image:allowPermissionsUnifiedExtensions|width=400]] =Manage extension settings= All extensions in the panel have a menu button with a gear icon. When the extension is not asking for permissions on a website, you can use the menu button to manage your extensions. The following options are available: *'''Pin to Toolbar:''' pins the extension to the Firefox toolbar. *'''Manage Extension:''' opens the Add-ons Manager where you can manage other extension settings. Click {menu Manage extensions} at the bottom to access the settings for all your extensions. *'''Remove Extension:''' uninstalls the extension from Firefox. *'''Report Extension:''' [[Reporting extensions and themes for abuse|reports the extension to Mozilla]]. =Common questions= ==Why is the panel not shown when I click the extensions button?== Only extensions that are enabled will appear in the extensions panel. ==My extension is enabled and doesn’t appear in the extensions panel – What can I do?== If your extension is already pinned to the toolbar, it will not appear in the extensions panel. ==I clicked an extension from the panel but nothing happens – What can I do?== This may happen because some extensions detect a browser action and do nothing. However, this may also be caused by a bug in the extension. To report this, you’ll need to contact the extension developer directly through the page you installed the extension from at addons.mozilla.org. ==Can I remove the extensions button from the toolbar or customize its location?== No, it is currently not possible to remove this button or change its location. This is by design. The extensions toolbar button is now the primary user interface and allows access to per-site permissions for MV3 extensions. <!-- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1795079 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1795235 --> =Related links= If you are developing MV3 extensions or want to learn more, visit: *[https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/10/31/begin-your-mv3-migration-by-implementing-new-features-today/ Begin your MV3 migration by implementing new features today] *[https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/11/17/unified-extensions-button-and-how-to-handle-permissions-in-manifest-v3/ Unified Extensions Button and how to handle permissions in Manifest V3]
