Firefox problem
Is anyone else having a problem with firefox where their extensions arbitrarily stop working, unless they go to the add-ons section, and disable and re-enable them?
Like, restarting firefox doesn't fix this. Only the add-ons page does.
FWIW I even pruned my add-ons a bit.
And if your advice is to switch browsers, just don't bother replying.

@Eramdam it doesn't seem to be. Like I definitely haven't noticed any requests for extension updates.
It seems to be All or most of my extensions, too.

@lapis I've had a strange problem where sometimes Firefox starts up without any, but quitting/restarting has cleared it up? about:profiles showed me two profiles (default and default-release) at one point too, not sure if that's related.
re: Firefox problem
@zigg mine only has one profile, so that doesn't seem to be it, but thanks!!!
re: Firefox problem
@lapis Sure! Good luck.
Just to be clear, I only mention it because I never created two profiles… weird stuff going on with Firefox 80. I didn't see your specific problem but I wondered.

@lapis is it something where the extension asks for new permissions and so Firefox disables it until you re-enable it? Firefox is supposed to show a warning sign over the menu button when that happens but it’s very easy to miss
