Just like options window instead of separate windows, (left or above) at least 3
buttons:
[1] Themes
[2] Extensions
[3] Plugins
Extensions and Plugins have to possibility to be disabled/enabled, and moved up
and down (to exchange the priority of those plugins).





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
- Also interesting a possibility to enable or disable a certain plugin/extension
for specified sites. (just like cookies as the moment).
- possibility to easy install downloaded extensions or themes (maybe by use of a
browse button, so you don't have to download and find every plugin, when I have
reinstalled firefox)

Please, report separate issues/suggestions as separate bugs. Making this about
the combined window, please report your other requests separately.

--
btw, you already can install downloaded XPIs via "File > Open" or via drag and
drop to extension manager window or to the content area of the browser.

We're not going to do this.  Having separate windows simplifies the interface,
and since both are discrete concepts, there isn't a real reason to implement it
in a combined fashion.
