The Disable and Remove buttons should be behind a more options popup [1] instead of being always visible buttons.

As a long-time Firefox user, I'd prefer to keep the 3 separate buttons for
- enable/disable extension (toggle)
- remove extension
- extension options
I often change the extension options from the Add-ons manager (this would now take 3 clicks instead of 1!) or quickly enable/disable several extensions for debugging purposes.
For fluent add-on management, efficiency is more important than esthetics. Why don't you provide three small buttons with an icon to save enough space for the add-on title and description? See also the closing words and comments on https://www.ghacks.net/2019/02/19/a-first-look-at-firefoxs-updated-add-ons-manager/. Other people share this need for efficiency.
Thank you for taking this into consideration.

The extension management options should now be in the more options menu (... button). The Disable/Enable and Remove buttons should work as expected. The More Options button is currently a placeholder until bug 1525173 lands.
This issue is verified as fixed on Firefox 68.0a1 (20190408193006) and Firefox 67.0b9 - build1 (20190408123043) under Win 7 64-bit and Mac OS X 10.14.1.
Please see the attached video.

A little while ago I filed a but to make the option "Install Add-on From File…" and other add-on options more easily accessible, because at the moment it is only available from the popup menu under the Tools button in the old add-ons manager. This makes it hard to access the feature by keyboard only and possibly also for people with a screen reader (bug 1526232).
With this new implementation where the buttons per add-on are replaced by a single clickable element which hides the menuitems it seems like you do it the other way around and make the other add-on buttons harder to reach by keyboard. This will only be worse when it will be converted to HTML.
Please consider also adding real menus/menuitems to access add-on functions.
