Recent versions of Nightly (e.g. 69.0a1 (2019-06-18) (64-bit) win10) have a new display of installed extensions.

With this new display, I found added friction in my daily use of the about:addons page (I have many extensions).

1. I can not see the state (enabled/disabled) of a given extension

2. An extra step has been added to the enable/disable process.

Issue (2) is just an observation, and a likely worthwhile trade-off to get a cleaner design.

Issue (1) does cause me friction, and toggling an extension is something I do fairly often. (E.g. I use different password managers for work vs personal.)

Is there any reason not to have disabled extensions continue to show as dimmed? I can think of some valid reasons, so the better question is - is there a way to reduce the friction of #1.

I agree. The new Add-ons -\> extensions page stinks! There is a massive thread going on in Reddit about this abominable design choice: [Extremely poor Add-ons Manager UI design in 68. More clicks to manually update, release notes hidden behind even more clicks.](https://imgur.com/ODSLsdL)]([https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/cbgvdd/extremely\_poor\_addons\_manager\_ui\_design\_in\_68/](https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/cbgvdd/extremely_poor_addons_manager_ui_design_in_68/))
