HI Glen Anderson, Thank you for your question. I understand that some customized parts of your profile are removed when Firefox updates. When updates are applied, any of the add ons that are not compatible with the new version are no compatible. For more information:

Thank you.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
