Hi guys!

In Firefox -> Tools -> Extensions, if we right-click on any extension, we got following options:

Move to Top
Move Up
Move Down

I want to know does it make ne difference, if we change the default sequence of installed extension?

I mean, if I hv 3 extensions installed, say "a,b & c", and now I move a to bottom and move b to Top, so my new sequence wll be "b,c & a". Now will it make ne difference in working/performance of the browser?

Whats the use of this feature?

i think just for convenience like some extension u frequently update or change settings or disable them... so u dont have to scroll all the way down... or just to lengthen the context menu :mrgreen:
