Disable Addons

I know that you can start TB/FF in "safe-mode" but I would like to see a
button in the addons dialog box to "Disable/Enable All Extensions". This
would come in handy when diagnosing an errant extension without having
to exit/restart in safe-mode, etc. As it stands now though, if you
disable an extension you have to exit/restart anyway but my
suggestion/wish is to disable/enable "on the fly".

Example:

Lets say you're on a page that is misbehaving and you suspect a
conflicting extension. Bring up the extension box with a right-click
context menu and select "Disable Extension XXX" or "Disable All
Extensions" after which the page will reload and if it loads correctly
then you can proceed to ferret out the bad extension. The same thing in
TB. Yes, you can disable/enable extensions one at a time now but you
must exit/restart for that procedure to function.
