What is MF?

Why do want to remove your add-ons? Is there a problem?

You can always disable your add-ons.

If you have software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that might protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.
