Wouldn't that be nice. I had to fresh install FF the other week. Without the 8/9 extensions I had installed it operates at a much faster speed. Firebug was the worst offender. It's a shame when people take advantage, but I image it would be easy for a provider of plugins to exploit users in many ways. A more stringent approval process would be a great reassurance.
With luck, some of the nagging bugs that have plagued the extension community will iron themselves out now. I'm thinking of the problems with memory leak (which is partly the core app's fault, but is worsened by poorly coded extensions), some of the cross extension conflicts, and just overall stability issues.
