Extensions Require Disable/Re-Enabling on every restart

I am currently running Firefox on desktop (128.4.0esr) version.

The last few addons that I have installed are not working properly. Or rather, they work just fine, but when I close Firefox and re-open it later, they seem to fail to actually enable. I must go to the about:addons page, disable the addon, and then re-enable it for it to actually work. If I do not do this, it will not be on my toolbar, and the Extensions sidebar button does not show the addon in the list. It's as if it isn't properly installed.

After reading this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1420017 I thought maybe my extensions db got corrupted somehow, so I followed their instructions and deleted the extensions.databaseSchema config. And wouldn't you know it, it worked! Once I restarted Firefox, I saw some notifications in the main sidebar menu and was greeted with this: Notifications Once I clicked through them and enabled, everything seemed fine.

However after closing firefox again, the problem comes back. Those exact extensions that I manually approved upon restarting are the ones that are giving me troubles and not enabling properly. An interesting thing I noticed is that these all seem to be extensions that require additional permissions. I enabled the addon and gave them the permissions they requested, so I don't know why they are failing to enable properly on startup.

I want to permanently fix the problem

My firefox updated to version 128.5.0esr today and the problem went away. Honestly it's a little frustrating that I spent all this time trying to debug an issue that wasn't something I could even solve but hey, at least it's fixed now.

You can try "Clear the startup cache..." in "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support).

I thought maybe that it could be related to account sync, as I briefly had it turned on a while ago but decided I didn't want it anymore. I logged back into my account, turned sync on, then logged out and checked the box to delete all sync data.

This had the unfortunate side effect of deleted all of my cookies, history, downloads, ect. but did not solve my problem. I then repeated all previously tried troubleshooting steps and it still did not help.

I am open to any more suggestions. I really do not want to have to reset my firefox if at all possible. It's just too much work to port over all my UI, my addons, my scripts, and settings for each. Even losing my cookies today is driving me absolutely mad.
