Some add-ons need re-enabling after every start

more options

Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

You should check the the Addons setting for issues and contact the Addon developer if their addons are having issues.

It's the same for not only extensions but also two themes I recently added. The creator has a whole host of other themes one of which has worked flawlessly for years for me.

Also since it is ~8 add-ons in total that exhibit this issue and all starting at a point in time a couple of weeks ago, I doubt it is a single add-on's fault but rather something more general with my browser/setup.

If Firefox team isn't the creator of those Addon/Extension then it stand to reason is to contact the Addon creator for support about their Addon issues here. Browser update and they have security update that could affect Addons and to that point it's up to the Addon Developer to update or revise their Addon so it works not Firefox developers or team as it's not their Addons.
