Every time I restart Firefox it opens a newaddon tab for each of my addons. I can click the little box and enable the addon. Today I got a new addon, which requires a restart to Firefox after it's enabled. That's a bummer, as once I enable it and restart the addon is back, along with my other addons, asking to be enabled again.

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
