This can be useful also for ordinary users pages.
You can disable "Allow Firefox Addons modification page" permission if necessary.

Do you have an example add-on that in mind here that was causing trouble with DevTools?  That may help focus the idea.

Each addon which add his style to HTML elements, CSS files, JS files.

Changes the appearance or behavior of the page.
Trashing Inspector, Style Editor, Debugger, Memory, Performance, sometimes Console

Adblock, uBlock, Greasemonkey, Select Like a Boss etc.

Each which use mage-mod but not only.

Regular users also can use this.
If you want to temporarily disable the add-ons for a particular page.
