Hi all !

Currently to disable an extension in an extension manager I need to right click on the extension to choose to disable it.

As stupid as it sounds - It took me some time to figure this out.

I would like to ask the developers to add a "disable" button to the extension manager so that this feature will be more visible.

Please add such a button to next FFox generation (2.0 if possible).

Other products such as Thunderbird may benefit too.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools
2.Extensions
3.Right click on extension
4.Disable

Actual Results:  
Works, but invisible to new users.

Expected Results:  
1.Tools
2.Extensions
3.Choose extension with left click
4.Left-click on "Disable" button

This has already been added by the Firefox 2.0 Extension Manager user interface update in bug 329045 for Firefox 2.0.
