Recently, some users have had such a bad infection that the Add-ons page wasn't accessible in normal mode. They had to restart Firefox in its Safe Mode to be able to investigate their extensions. Here's how:

If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" Help button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

and OK the restart.

If Firefox is not running or that method is blocked: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. (On Mac, hold down the option/alt key instead of the Shift key.)

Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).

Then you should have full access to the Add-ons page. Consider removing anything you aren't sure is useful and safe.
