Is there a way to see which of my add-ons will be disabled when I install Firefox update?

I have recently returned to Firefox after a long absence. The reason I stopped using it in the first place is that every time I got all the add-ons that I wanted, there would be a new update and I'd lose some or all of them and I wasn't interested in having some/all of my useful functions disabled until who knows when or forever.

I've currently got automatic updates turned off, and that is where they will stay unless I can verify that the add-ons are backwards compatible or there is an update for the add-on.

Is there a way to see what current add-ons will be disabled with an update?

Yes, during the update there is a list of add ons that come up that will not be added when you update. You can cancel the update if it lists one that you do not want to no longer use.
