blocking "malicious" firefox extensions on my site

I've built an online game that is very ajax heavy. Problem is that users are now manipulating the game with Firefox extensions like "firebug" and many others like it. I implemented code to block users who have firebug enabled, but is there a way I can do this for all firefox extensions, or at least the ones that can minipulate javascript?

I can implement my own security to require a pass key everytime there is a call made to the component, but that would take quite a bit of work. Anyone have suggestions or a solution?

Sounds like simple bookmarklets would be also enough. They are undetectable and work in all browsers. Personally I would say there is no way to solve this problem.
