I was wondering if there is a functionality or maybe another addon for Firefox were I can export all my addons into a simple list - preferably txt or html. I mean only the names because I start to lose track and want the same addons at home and work.

Extension List Dumper is an addon that can save your addons and themes as a file.
Edit: As of Firefox 30, the above addon no longer works. You can get a list of all installed addons and other information about your Firefox installation by entering about:support
in the URL bar. You can also try Addon List Dumper (restartless) instead if you want to easily export a list.

Addon List Dumper (restartless) is great...not exactly what I wanted but close enough for me to work with it for my needs. Aug 21, 2014 at 22:43

2Neither of these add-ons are available any longer. The boilerplate page that they show is intentional, as discussed at github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/… Feb 3, 2019 at 3:17
If you want to automate this, here's a Python script that prints the names of the installed addons, including an enabled flag. It accepts a single argument, the Firefox profile path, which can be found in the about:support page.
import json, os, sys
PROFILE, = sys.argv[1:]
path = os.path.join(PROFILE, 'extensions.json')
data = json.load(open(path, encoding='utf-8'))
for addon in data['addons']:
enabled = '*' if addon['active'] else ' '
name = addon['defaultLocale']['name']
print(enabled, name)
As none of the extensions are able to do this/Available in Firefox 85, here is an extension called "Nightly Tester Tools" that can be used to copy the list of addons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nightly-tester-tools/
Save about:addons as a complete HTML file, and
Use something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/nimbus-screenshot/?utm_content=addons-manager-reviews-link&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_source=firefox-browser to capture the entirety of the page
to produce
about:support
to get a complete list of extensions in firefox. If you only useabout:addons
, it will skip some (eg wikipedia, bing, amazon, etc) support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267206
