Hi:

on the about:Addons page, on the left hand side, top there is this nice option/?button "Get Add-ons link"

Is there a way to change where I am navigated to when I click it? currently takes me to this overall page, from about:addons I want to go directly to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/

to get there, i have to scroll down the about:addons page, and click.. clunky for me ...

thankyou

Put the preferences that you change in a user.js file, instead of doing that change in about:config, and backup that file.

Then when you create a new Profile, copy that user.js file into the new Profile folder.
