I am automating a workflow where in I want to control (enable/disable) Adobe Create PDF extension programmatically using JavaScript or in any other scripting language ? If anyone has worked on controlling Firefox Addons/Extensions by a script/program, please share your experience. I shall be very thankful.

Thanks.

Programmatically set the preference 'extensions.autoDisableScopes'. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Installing_extensions, 'Disabling install locations' for explanation of what this preference means.

I was having the same problem with programmatically-installed extensions being installed but disabled. I discovered that the default value for extensions.autoDisableScopes was 15, which blocked everything. I set it to 0 (because I have a nonstandard install location) and my extensions were enabled upon startup.
