There is an add-on that disables the menu bar. That's great, since i need parts of the menu to be hidden. The thing is, i also want the add-ons option too be hidden.

But if i hide that menu option, i won't be able to change the add-on and open the browser for maintenance. That means that hiding the add-ons option in the menu is a one way action. That's not good for me.

So, i was thinking, it would be great if i could access the add-on's properties from outside the browser.

Any ideas?

Thanks, SummerBulb

You can access the add-ons page by typing about:addons in the location bar.

Thanks, but that page is blocked too.

The computers are blocked in away that prevents the user from performing any changes to the computer or the browser.

I do see an upside in your solution, since the about:addons is blocked via filesystem changes. I can undo the changes to those files, and then the page will be accessible.

Still, i'm looking for a more straightforward way to access the addons' properties.

Does the chrome URL work:

  • chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul
