This guide assumes that you currently have an add-on in Firefox that you would like to disable. The steps in this article were performed in the desktop version of the Mozilla Firefox Web browser. Our tutorial below will help you find the add-ons menu in Firefox so that you can disable any of the installed add-ons that you wish.

But not all of these add-ons wind up working as well as you want, some may be malicious, and others might affect some of your other browsing activities in a negative way.įortunately you aren’t stuck with an add-on forever after you install it, and you can elect to disable it if you aren’t using the add-on, or if you simply need to turn it off briefly. The number of add-ons available for popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome often allow you to complete tasks more quickly, or add functionality that make the browsers much more useful.
