hi i have tried to find out which overrides but could not seem to find the answer. after i configured arkenfox user.js, the button highlighted in Red box will always show up as "Add to Firefox" instead of "Remove" after the extension has been installed.

Can not test here.

Yep, privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager is the cause. However, that is the whole point of enabling privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager. It is a comedic issue; extensions can still be installed without any issues.

the pref blocks Mozilla integrating on AMO (i.e having powers to hook into the browser to know what you have installed) - so this is an intended side effect. If you don't know what extensions you have, then you have too many. You can "remove" extensions from about:addons
