It is possible to edit the files. Its simple to find the folder path.

  • Open the Help menu from the browser top menu
  • select Troubleshooting Information option. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
  • Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
  • Open the 'extensions' folder in there.

you should find all the extension files in here. Your extension could be a .xpi file which is nothing but a zip file. copy it to a different folder and rename it to .zip. Unzip it and browse the content in it. Hope this helps.
