Rated 3 out of 5
by Ghis1964, 6 years agoRated 3 because it does not show extension ID. So I'm resorting to the usual (my handy GFs... ...my hands)
So yeah, 3 stars for good intent and work. But this goes to trash-bin if it does show addon-UID right in the about-addons page two weeks from now (like the one I used to have 5yrs ago already but gone dead.... thx bushbama :-{ )
edit: That escaladed quickly ;) I just found what I needed all along (and already had)
Yep.... turns out that "about:debugging" is all I need. I just made a short-cut/fav in my bookmark-bar, right along side my "about:config" icon, and that's it ;)
Sorry, but this extension of yours is going to the trash-bin right now. But thx for making me search further.

posted 6 years agoShowing the ID somewhere in the UI has been part of my wishlist for a while. I have filed an issue with all details needed to implement the feature; follow the feature request at https://github.com/Rob--W/crxviewer/issues/82
PS. This is a personal project from me, provided free of charge. Please consider that demanding a feature in an entitled way is very rude.
EDIT: If you were looking for extension IDs of an already installed add-on, look at about:support#extensions-tbody

Note:
Seems to have some problem with Waterfox Classic:
i don't see the CRX icon in the adress bar
- click on the "install button" of an addon and chose "view with CRX (in mozilla addon pages) don't show the code (error massage).
But work if i want inspect a downloaded addon ;-) - Rated 5 out of 5by gamma, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16725907, 3 years agoShould really be available by default. Installing an addon is like rolling the dice as to whether it is malicious. This lets you see what is going on behind the scenes so you can see what services it may be calling.
- Rated 5 out of 5by kcufuoyeid, 3 years agoUnder rated gem. essential if you conveniently want to see what an add-on is made of before you install. It's criminal Mozilla has not yet endorsed this add-on since they can't be bothered to check add-ons themselves anymore.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dewnan, 3 years agoThank you for fixing this, the update didn't work, I had to uninstall the old version then reinstall the new one... THANK YOU
The BEST if you install addons... see the code, is it dubious or not. More people should use it, but dummies be and dummies Chrome. FF users in the know GOT THIS! - Rated 5 out of 5by emvaized, 3 years ago
