Suggested enhancement: in extension manager, pl add "disable" button, along with
uninstall.
While troubleshooting new firefox user's extension problem, told him to disable it.
user had trouble finding such an option; said only uninstall option provided.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.tools - extensions
2.select an extension
3.
Actual Results:
User noticed Uninstall button, but didnt find a corresponding disable button.
user didn't figure out right-click menu option.
user thought no option to disable extensions, only uninstall.
Expected Results:
provided "Disable" button along with "Uninstall".
(same behavior in nightly)
Confirming as a valid enhancement request (even though I wouldn't be suprised if
it gets marked as WONTFIX).
Severity: minor → enhancement
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

I've been taught that commands appearing only in context-menu are bad UI.
Perhaps add a button that pops the current context menu?
Anyways, please decide something about this before 1.0.

Seems much better to provide a checkbox to enable/disable. It's more logical, as it fits the metaphor better--remains available, but not used.
Simply align a checkbox to the far right, per extension entry.
