Access Extensions Options from the Menubar in Firefox

Starting with the version 4 of the Mozilla Firefox, all the options for the extensions (add-ons) are shown in a separate page. Sometimes this makes opening of the options dialog for extensions a very difficult task and hangs the Firefox browser. One workaround for this is to install Extension Options Menu add-on which lets you access the options dialog for various extensions right from the Firefox menubar. Here is how :

  1. Visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/extension-options-menu/ in your Firefox browser.
  2. Click on the green colored button labeled Add to Firefox.

  4. After restarting the Firefox browser, you can see a new item added in your Firefox menubar. You can access Extensions Options from Tools → Extension Options and then choose the extension (add-on) for which you want to change the options.

  5. If you have not enabled to show the menubar in Firefox, then you can also open the options dialog from the titlebar by clicking on the orange Firefox button, selecting Add-ons and then choosing the extensions as shown.
