i have updated firefox to version 8 and after restarting firefox all of my add-ons were disabled and removed from firefox. when i tried to reinstall them they insttalled but they are not working not even one
i recently updated from 7.0.1 to 8.0 (but i selected 'restart later'). when i opened firefox the next day, all of my add-ons were removed completely from firefox (and even from my computer - i have checked the profile data in C drive where my windows has been installed). i installed some add-ons then it said the add-ons were installed successfully ( without any restart) but when clicked on the options across an add-on it did not open. i checked for all the add-ons but none of the add-on's options button worked.Screenshot of some of my add-ons

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created when required.

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

I have deleted those files and installed some add-ons to test.
I closed firefox but the process still continued and I forcibly ended the firefox from the task manager. I then opened firefox but my add-ons did not work.
Now I again closed firefox and waited for the process to end itself so that firefox has a clean exit. I then opened firefox and then I am
SURPRISED
All of my add-ons were working and all the previous settings of the add-ons were restored like Adblock Plus subscriptions and others.
