I am running the current version of Firefox and noticed that all my ad ons have been disabled in safe mode.When I tried to reinstall them they still showed as being disabled even though I clicked enable. Does this mean that they are not compatible with this version? Also I am not able to remove all of the disabled ad ons from the list.How can I remove them all and is there someway of getting compatible ad ons? Thanks

SafeMode is a diagnostic mode where extensions and other features are purposely disabled.

When in Safe Mode...

  • The status of plug-ins is not affected.
  • Custom preferences are not affected.
  • All extensions are disabled.
  • The default theme is used, without a persona.
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
  • The default toolbar layout is used.
  • The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
  • Hardware acceleration is disabled.
