extensions eating memory but not showing anywhere
When i go to "about:memory" and do a measurement to see whats eating memory i find extensions that are nowhere to be found in the extension manager nor in the folders where the extension files are. they are: - Extension(id=wikipedia@search.mozilla.org, name="Wikipedia (en)", baseURL=moz-extension://8551 - Extension(id=webcompat@mozilla.org, name="Web Compatibility Interventions", baseURL=moz-extensi - Extension(id=screenshots@mozilla.org, name="Firefox Screenshots", baseURL=moz-extension://486 - Extension(id=pictureinpicture@mozilla.org, name="Picture-In-Picture", baseURL=moz-extension:// - Extension(id=google@search.mozilla.org, name="Google", baseURL=moz-extension://13f3307a-648b- - Extension(id=formautofill@mozilla.org, name="Form Autofill", baseURL=moz-extension://dfdf20df- - Extension(id=ddg@search.mozilla.org, name="DuckDuckGo", baseURL=moz-extension://c8eb7a13-e1ab - Extension(id=bing@search.mozilla.org, name="Bing", baseURL=moz-extension://424719d2-8ccf-4c8e- - Extension(id=addons-search-detection@mozilla.com, name="Add-ons Search Detection", baseURL=moz- (the names are cut thats how it shows and at the end there is a "..." i cant select) I tried looking everywhere and i cant find where are this extensions to delete them. i use the google website to do searches so dont need an extension, i dont use duckduckgo at all, i dont use bing at all, i dont use the screenshot feature, i dont use the picture in picture thing and also i use the wbesite if i want to go to wikipedia. I would like to know how to erase them entirely since i dont use them and they are eating memory.

The built-in extensions are mostly built-in to the main code files. I don't think search engines run unless you select one of them, so those are not really an important target for deactivation.

Hi,
Those are built-in Firefox extensions. I believe you can only remove the search engines, see this article (the Remove a search engine section) on how to do that.
Hi, the search engine list has google only and since its the last one the remove option is greyed out so there has to be at least one. doing a raw search (*.xpi) only found 4 of them, picture in picture, screnshots, the autofill and 2 for the webcompat in: "install path"\Mozilla Firefox\browser\features But after that i get nothing, even searching " *wiki* " in both the install folder and the profile folder. Doing a "moz-" search get Inside a file i get them (wikipedia and bing and so) named in "search.json.mozlz4" but thats the end of my lead. I guess this is as far as i can go since its not showing up as files themselves.

Just in case i left the autofill and the web compatibility ones but moved the files of the other 2 into a made up folder and after a few opening and closings so far i havent noticed any errors warnings of missing stuff and if they do at some point i can revert it. I guess this is it. Thanks for the help.
