Add-ons Hub Autor: Elsherif

Add-ons Hub is your toolkit for moving your Firefox add-ons around. Export a list of your installed add-ons and quickly restore them on another Gecko-based browser, such as Firefox, Zen, LibreWolf, or Waterfox, or in another Firefox profile.

Add-ons Hub includes three tools: Add-ons Exporter, Add-ons Importer, and Settings.

How it works

1. Click the toolbar icon and choose "Export Add-ons." The extension opens a searchable checklist of your installed add-ons, organized into Enabled and Disabled sections.
2. Select the add-ons you want to export, then click "Export Selected." The extension creates a report in the formats you chose (HTML, JSON, CSV or TXT), with direct links to their Mozilla Add-ons pages whenever available. If you choose several formats, they are saved together in one .zip file.
3. On your other browser or Firefox profile, install Add-ons Hub, choose "Import Add-ons," and select the exported file. The importer reads HTML, JSON, CSV, TXT and .zip files, and several files at once.
4. The extension shows a searchable checklist of the add-ons in the export, organized into Already Installed and Not Installed Yet sections.
5. Select the add-ons you want to restore, then click "Open Selected" to open their Mozilla Add-ons pages in new tabs.
6. Click "Add to Firefox" for the add-ons you want to reinstall.

Why it works this way

Firefox does not allow extensions to install other extensions automatically. Instead, Add-ons Hub streamlines the reinstall process by opening the add-on pages for you, making it quick and convenient to restore your setup on another browser or Firefox profile.
