Firefox disappointment

What has happened to Firefox?

It always used to be a reliable, honest, hassle-free browser. But when I found javascript from a shower called Superfish injected into my pages, I changed my view.

There seems to be no ready way for a user to find out which Add-On or Extension is responsible for interfering with pages.

Trial and error suggested that for me it was the FoxIt PDF reader that was responsible (but I am still not 100% sure). But why should one have to use trial and error. Where is the Firefox feature that quickly identifies running addons and extensions, and shows what each is doing to your browser?
