**Disabling extensions is now possible in Firefox 2.0.0.1. However, enabling and disabling an extension requires the restarting of Firefox. The dynamic installing/uninstalling of add-ons could allow an external program to force feed a bug into Firefox, but I don't see how that's possible with dynamic disable/enabling of extentions. --[[User:Armaetin|Armaetin]] 15:16, 31 December 2006 (PST) | |||
