CNET Editors' review
The purpose of this extension-managing extension is simple: to give more control over plug-ins to the user. It does just that, but it does it in such a useful and comprehensive way that it's hard to imagine managing Firefox extensions without it. The best tool this application gives the user is a Restart Firefox button that restarts the browser quickly and re-opens all the tabs that were closed. It also checks for updates and can override the MaxVersionNumber of many older extensions that haven't been updated for version 3.
Users are given control of nearly everything concerning plug-ins, from the folder the plug-ins are saved in to context-menu choices to more complex hacks. The interface is laid out in a basic panel, and it's a bit overwhelming given all the choices it offers. Still, if you download only one extension, make it this one; then all the others you get will be far easier to handle.

The primary goal of this extension is to provide the tools needed to install and manage extensions and themes locally.

"Did what I needed"
Version: MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.0.1
Pros
Was able to get some extensions back on which is what I needed.
Cons
One of the extensions did not work completely screwed up FF 3.0. Was able to start in Safe Mode and fix the problem. Not for the average consumer. A bit complicated and you can seriously screw up Firefox with it. Use with caution.

"Great Tool - now I can control the extensions not FF"
Version: MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.0.1
Pros
everything
Cons
not for the novice
-
"Great!"
Version: MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.0.1
Pros
Could not live without this extension. Until I find a method to intall it in FX3, almost went back to FX2!
-
"Crap! Couldn't install it!"
Version: MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.0.1
Pros
Nothing!
Cons
Again-it is looking for the XpInstaller and I'm running Vista. For a brand new release for Firefox 3 it should be Vista-ready.
