I want to create a safe environment in my browser with a couple of extensions that I DON'T want to be deleted by users. I tried using Private Fox to forbid access to about:addons page but I found out that user can remove an extension by simply right-clicking its browser-action icon and choosing "Remove Extension" from a context menu.

Is there a way to prevent this and hide that option from a menu?

Your best option is probably to use a policy to prevent users from uninstalling or disabling add-ons. Read Customize Firefox using policies.json for more information.

This is an interesting solution and it sure blocks the about:addons page but it does not solve the issue with context menu. If I right-click an extension image in a toolbar it still allows me to click "remove extension" and remove extension for good

This actually solves my problem through "Extensions" policy and "Locked" extensions. Many thanks!
