Hi :) I got some more addons installed. No, i dont want to deinstall some. Yes, i need and use all of them. No, they do not slow down my Browser. Yes, you may have not a hunch of that?

It seems in Firefox with Shift+Ctrl+A and about:addons you can only search addons on addons.mozilla.org. Or have i overlooked something?

Why does FF not have this usefull feature? It is faster to type text fragments to find an installed addon than to scroll down the list. All Chrome Browser got this option and it works fine :)

thx

When Mozilla released Quantum, many add-on writers re-wrote their programs to be compatible. Others decided it was not worth the effort.

Also, the new Quantum does not allow a number of things that the older add-ons were able to do.
