    Installing every* Firefox extension <https://jack.cab/blog/every-firefox-extension#the-middle-finger-emoji-sticker-award>

    *All but 8 we didnrCOt scrape (or got deleted between me checking the
    website and me scraping) and 42 missing from extensions.json.1
    Technically we only installed 99.94% of the extensions.

    It turns out thererCOs only 84 thousand Firefox extensions. That sounds feasibly small. That even sounds like itrCOs less than 50 gigabytes. LetrCOs install them all!

    Launch 1

    Firefox took its sweet time remaking extensions.json, and it kept
    climbing. About 39 minutes of Firefox displaying a skeleton (hence rCLit
    has yet to render a second framerCY) later, it was 189rC>MB large: a new record! May killed Firefox and ran enable.js.

    Index page

    I realized we need to disable auto update before Firefox sends another
    84 thousand requests. This one took a while to load.

    The list loaded but with no icons and stopped responding, and 6 hours
    later it had loaded fully.
