Addons stop functioning every time I start Firefox.
Updated Firefox to 66.0.5. Now they stop working until I remove and reinstall them. Their icons are still there; in some, the ones that bring up a menu still show it but the buttons within that do nothing. Example: Duplicate Tabs Closer's 'close all duplicate tabs' button is grayed out and can't be clicked, while Tab Sessions Manager's 'save' button creates a 'failed to save session' error. Others, like Ghostery, the icon is grayed out.

Deleted files, reinstalled add-ons. Worked briefly--as they do when removing and reinstalling before--and then back to the same behavior.
What are the addons? And have you also contact the developers of the addon.
All of them so far. Adblock Plus, Ghostery, Duplicate Tabs Closer, Tab Session Manager, Undo Close Tab Button, Video Downloadhelper, and Bulk Media Downloader.
I haven't thought to contact them because it's no one addon, it's everything.
