Firefox is a great browser and one of the most popular ones on the market. However, it can be difficult to keep track of all of the add-ons that are installed on your Firefox browser. This can be a problem if you want to use add-ons for specific tasks or if you want to keep track of which add-ons are installed on your computer at all times. One way to keep track of all of the add-ons that are installed on your Firefox browser is to move them to the sidebar. This will make it easier for you to find and use them, and it will also make it easier for other people who might need to use some of your add-ons too. To move an addon from the sidebar to the sidebar, open Firefox and click on its icon in the top left corner of the window. Then, select “Options.” In “Options,” click on “Add-ons.” In “Add-ons,” select “Move Addon” from the list next to “Addon Type.” Click on “Move Addon.” The addon will be moved into the sidebar and its name will be added as a column item.
Setup
There is one thing to watch for when installing the Add-ons Sidebar extension. If you already have the MR Tech Toolkit extension installed you will see the following message window. Click “Cancel” to complete the installation…otherwise the Add-ons Sidebar will be uninstalled.
There are no options for you to worry with…just adding the toolbar button (if desired). To add the toolbar button, “Right Click” on one of the toolbars and select “Customize…” to open the “Customize Toolbar Window”. Grab the “Add-ons Button” with your mouse and move it to the location of your choice and close the “Customize Toolbar Window”.
Now you are ready for super quick access to manage your add-ons without using the “Tools Menu” or having to deal with a separate window.
Note: You may also use the “Ctrl + Shift + A” keyboard shortcut to open the Add-ons Sidebar.
Add-ons Sidebar in Action
Use of the “Add-ons Sidebar Button” or keyboard shortcut opens the sidebar quickly and easily. The width of the sidebar can also be adjusted to suit your personal preferences. Looking good!
Conclusion
If you have been looking for a way to pack even more goodness into your sidebar, then the Add-ons Sidebar extension will certainly be a pleasurable addition to your Firefox Browser.
