After updating to Firefox 8.0 & 8.01 all my add-ons were disabled.

I have to reinstall those that still can be enabled manually after each reboot. These, that I can reinstall, are:

Download Helper 4.9.7/WOT 20111107/Adblock 1.3.10/DivX plus Web Player HTML5 2.1.2.145/

All my other add-ons are incompatible with this version of Firefox! This includes Ghostery which I particularly miss,

This is annoying!

Ghostery: Works with Firefox 3.5 - 11.0a1: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

Hey cor-el,

tyvm.

Solution of deleting the extension.-- files does not work.

The link to Ghostery worked partially. I can now get it but as with all of the add-ons that I am able to "enable" I have to do this manually after every reboot.

Again, thank you Iugula
