Whey do I have to enable ALL Add-ons every time I start Firefox?

Every time I open Firefox, none of my Add-ons are enabled. I have to enable every add-on and sometimes I have to re-install them. Is there a way that I can get my add-ons to load when I start the program, or is this just the way it is?

Hi, please see below :

please do this :

and if need to : Create a new profile as a TEST to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem. Never work with original files.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

If the above does not help;

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

Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Delete all extensions files and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

After, restart Firefox.
