All my extensions disabled with no option to re-enable
For some reason, about a couple of weeks ago, all my Firefox extensions were disabled with no option to re-enable them. Clicking on the "..." next to each add-on only shows options "Remove", "Report", & "Manage". No "Disable" or "Enable" option. Why? How can I re-enable them?
My Firefox version is 71.0.

The deleting the extensions* and compatibility.ini worked! They were all disabled when I restarted but the "Enable" option was back. All good now thanks FredMcD, you rock!
