Firefox Add-Ons Question

How do I open about:addons (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) in a new window automatically, instead of in a new tab?

I know Firefox used to do this many years ago, I'd love to have the setting again.

I don't think there is a setting for this, but here are two ideas for workarounds:

(1) Move the (already opened) tab to its own window by right-clicking the Add-ons page's tab (on the tab bar) and using Move to New Window

(2) Bookmark the Add-ons page, and then Shift+click the bookmark to launch it in its own window.

Can you clarity what you mean with "open my add-ons in a new window"?

Is this the about:addons page (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or do you mean another page (window) like the Options/Preferences window?

Yes I meant the about:addons page. I want to be able to open that page in a new window (automatically), instead of in a new tab.

I apologize for not being more descriptive earlier, sorry about that.
