For compatibility problems, or for office usage, it might be helpful to have a
way to quickly turn all extensions off and just as quickly turn them back on.
Currently, must do a right-click, click "disable" and wait for each object,
which is a tedious process with more than 4 or so extensions.
Like there's the hidden "Update all" context command (see bug 259057) it would
be nice to have a one- or two-click method of enabling or disabling all extensions.
Bug 259057 talks about the ability to select multiple objects, but if that
requires clicking on each object, then this bug needs some way to do the command
with ALL the extensions without each click.

That's what safe mode is for.
If I was fixing bug 259057 I'd make Shift+Click select a range and/or added a
select all option.
I don't think there will ever be a Disable All button/context menu, so I think
this is a dupe of bug 259057.

Safe mode? Sure, if I could do that, that would satisfy my needs for the bug.
If I was fixing bug 259057 I'd consider those options, but I'm not.
In any case, I would enjoy similar functionality between the (hidden) update all
command, and enable/disable functionality.
Disabling extensions in safe mode has no effect, if an extension has caused a
previous crash. Deleting the extension that caused the crash before a reinstall
is not possible with MozBackup. It's either no extensions or all extensions
that have to be reinstalled, which makes a reinstall possible but Firefox won't
start because of the problem causing extension that's still blocking a startup
> a Firefox safe mode start does not solve the problem and is also impossible

With the checkin of bug 329045 there is now ui real estate available to provide this but I'm not sure how to best do so... I'd prefer not having an enable all and a disable all button displaying at the same time.

I think a way to avoid this is as following:
if ALL extensions are disabled show "Enable All" label on a button, otherwise show "Disable All" label on the same button. One button, two labels.

I had the foresight to add the strings for this already but I forgot I had done so. :P

Not going to block on this any longer, but if a patch appears in the near term we'll consider it.

Not going to do this without bug 259057 fixed, and if we fix that bug and make sure that ctrl-A to select all works then I don't see anything else we need to do here.
