hi in health page it shows 8 extensions but on extension page there are none shown..

Chosen solution

The Mozilla extensions now seem to be in the program folder:

32-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\features

64-bit Firefox on 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\features

The 8 .xpi files here match up with the "Features" section of the Troubleshooting Information page. As I said before, I suspect the Health Report is counting these Mozilla extensions in its total extensions count.

Hmm, mine shows "25", which is a surprising amount.

We can get more information on the Troubleshooting Information page. Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
  • (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

If you scroll down past the first one or two sections, you'll find these tables:

  • Firefox Features - these are hidden extensions that Firefox uses for certain features (as the name implies). I have eight of these, and I assume they all count toward the total extensions on the Health Report.
  • Extensions - this list should match the Extensions list on the Add-ons page. The ones that have "true" in the Enabled column count toward the total extensions on the Health Report. (I have 18 of these. Which is why a total of 25 instead of 26 is strange. Hmmm...)

Does that make (more) sense?

Thanks for checking that. Those "Firefox Features" are implemented using extensions, so that is where "8" is coming from.

If you have used a profile for a very long time then you may have accumulate a lot of these special system extensions. You can find these in the features folder in the Firefox profile folder. You can cleanup this folder to make Firefox re-download extensions for your current Firefox version.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Not need to worry about that file in the extensions folder.

  • {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} default theme

This file is a placeholder for the builtin default theme, so deleting this file might cause problems. You can check this in about:addons appearance and ȟeck for errors in the Browser Console.
