Addon Aficionado

How to unlock Addon Aficionado in Cheevos by visiting about:addons, the Firefox extensions manager. Worth 10 XP.

The story

Partner. You opened the extensions manager. Cache approves, loudly.

Extensions are how a browser stops being a generic tool and starts being yours. A password manager here. An ad blocker there. Something that changes the color scheme because the default one bothered you for reasons you can't fully explain. Every extension installed is a small decision about what browsing should feel like, made by the person actually doing the browsing.

Cache keeps a list of every extension he has ever noticed someone install across all his partners, and the list is long. He has opinions about which categories show up most. Privacy tools are consistently near the top, which pleases him more than he likes to admit for a raccoon who is not supposed to have feelings about ad trackers.

You went to the page where all of that customization lives, the management screen behind the pieces you've added and removed over time. That is a small act of ownership over your own browser, and Cache notices small acts of ownership every time.

The catalog entry

ABOUT:ADDONS Acquired: Navigated to the Firefox extensions management page. Condition: Active. Several extensions probably listed. Rarity: Uncommon. Cache's Notes: Extensions are how browsers become personal. You add what you need. You remove what you don't. Cache has a list of every extension he has ever tracked someone installing. The list is long. Privacy tools are the most popular. He is glad about this.

Spoiler: how to unlock it

The extensions manager is one click or one address away.

  1. Open Firefox.
  2. Type about:addons into the address bar and press Enter, or click the menu button and choose "Add-ons and themes."
  3. Browse the Extensions and Themes tabs to see what's currently installed.

about:addons opens Firefox's built-in Add-ons Manager, where you can view, enable, disable, configure, or remove installed extensions and themes, as well as browse and install new ones directly from addons.mozilla.org. Extensions are built using the WebExtensions API, a cross-browser standard shared (with some variation) by Chrome, Edge, and Safari, which is why many extensions are available in similar form across browsers. This page is also where you'd go to check an extension's requested permissions before deciding whether to trust it.

Where it fits in the Stash

Cache keeps this one filed right next to the store itself, the management panel that shows what a partner has already chosen to add to their browser. To meet the raccoon tracking every extension ever installed, read the story.
