How to Disable Firefox Add-ons
Need to disable some Firefox Add-ons? Personally speaking, I would consider add-ons to be themes, plugins and extensions you add to Firefox. If you need to troubleshoot a problem with the browser, disabling the Firefox add-ons you have added can sometimes be the quickest way to find the problem.

Save Text to File
Save Text to File is a Firefox add-on that allows you to save highlighted text to an external text file. This is one of those features you never realize how handy it will be until you start using it. I often like to save ‘bits of articles and other things I read to go back to it later. This makes saving that information in a new location all that much easier.
Get Your Status Bars Back
The extension, Status-4-Evar, will restore the status bar to how it looked before Firefox 4.0.

If you find yourself in the second group, this add-on is perfect for you.
