Review by Ghis1964
Rated 3 out of 5
by Ghis1964, 6 years agoRated 3 because it does not show extension ID. So I'm resorting to the usual (my handy GFs... ...my hands)
So yeah, 3 stars for good intent and work. But this goes to trash-bin if it does show addon-UID right in the about-addons page two weeks from now (like the one I used to have 5yrs ago already but gone dead.... thx bushbama :-{ )
edit: That escaladed quickly ;) I just found what I needed all along (and already had)
Yep.... turns out that "about:debugging" is all I need. I just made a short-cut/fav in my bookmark-bar, right along side my "about:config" icon, and that's it ;)
Sorry, but this extension of yours is going to the trash-bin right now. But thx for making me search further.

posted 6 years agoShowing the ID somewhere in the UI has been part of my wishlist for a while. I have filed an issue with all details needed to implement the feature; follow the feature request at https://github.com/Rob--W/crxviewer/issues/82
