firefox addons wont work after reboot
Why doesnt my addons not work after a restart? It asks me to reinstall them. In tools-addons they are disabled. I enable them and the work until I restart. Whats wrong? I really like the addons, but they are a lot of of inconvience to keep installing them and enabling them. Thanks Licia Gibson

There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software. Also check your security software.

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

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.json file.
