The path where Firefox looks for Plugins can easily be changed using the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable.

Does such a facility also exist for Add-Ons (also called extensions)? Similar to how MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH changes /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, I am searching for a way to change /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions/.

I needed to change the udpate directory of Firefox, I was not succesful, but here is my attempt, I think everything else was successfully overriden. If you figure out how to override update directory please share :)

OSX - Change special paths, especialy folder to which update is delivered

Here is an example of me actually using it - https://github.com/Noitidart/Profilist/blob/mac-iconing-alpha/bootstrap.js#L6470-L6563
