Streamline Extensions toolbar menu (Hide pinned items & add "Manage" shortcut) #381

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current extensions list of the Extensions toolbar button is redundant and cluttered. It currently displays every installed extension, including those that are already pinned to the toolbar. This makes the list unnecessarily long and harder to navigate. Additionally, there is no direct way to access extension settings from this menu, which breaks the workflow when I need to quickly configure a tool.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see two UI/UX improvements to the Extensions toolbar menu:

  • Hide Pinned Extensions: Extensions should automatically be removed from the dropdown list once they are pinned to the main toolbar. This keeps the dropdown focused only on the extensions I haven't pinned yet.
  • "Manage Extensions" Shortcut: Add a dedicated "Manage extensions" button or link at the bottom of this specific dropdown menu for instant access to the main extension management page.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only current alternative is a tedious multi-step process: I have to press the main Menu button on the toolbar, open the Extensions category, and then scroll all the way down to find the "Manage extensions" option.

Additional context
These changes would make the extensions UI feel much more polished and efficient, bringing it in line with the management style found in other modern browsers.
