FF28 upgrade & all the addons are showing that off, even if they are enabled

Upgrade to FF28 & addons all + userscripts show that disabled, even if they are enabled.

I already tried to delete:
addons. JSON
Compatibility.ini
Extensions.ini
Extensions. JSON
Extensions.SQLite

All that done as a cause of Firefox go in a "reboot several times 50 times more than one by one and each time asked me to manually install each addon. The process took more than 5 minutes and left me very impressed by the ability of Firefox bugs.

End result? I am still sitting with the same problem. All the addons are showing that off, when they are turned on in fact. I cannot change them, uninstalled them or install new addons.

PS. Oh and I write of Sleipnir not Firefox because Firefox has refused to work with the buttons on this page for some reason any (yes I'm allowing scripts in NoScript)
PPS. Oh and my old account here for some reason some refused to open a session, even though I wrote the user name and password and I tried using the user AND email for the login process. Overall, very impressed with the services of Mozilla for now. I really want to move to a different browser.
PPP. I have over 300 tabs open in Firefox, so can't go on the road to reset, because Firefox has no way to record a session.

Honestly, Firefox must be transportable by default. What the point of having a browser that you spent 12 months + customization with 300 + tabs open, if your Windows partition is damaged and you cannot retrieve your tabs because it is installed? I will never use the installed version of Firefox again because it is impossible to save. If I had been using portable Firefox at the time where I could have accessed my XP partition corrupted with Ubuntu live USB, back up the folder and be good to go on my new install of Windows 8. Instead I had to start from scratch. That's what you get for not using of portable software.

This is resolved. The steps that I followed:

  1. Ignore all the Internet advice and find a way to do it myself because no one else seems to know anything about Firefox.
  2. Save the entire Firefox portable folder making it a 7zip file
  3. Disable all addons
  4. Download the latest mobile Installer
  5. Install using the portable Installer but navigate up to the existing installed cell phone directory
  6. Open portable Firefox after updating
  7. Update all addons (do not select all again)
  8. Restart Firefox
  9. Now activate the addons, then restart Firefox

Note: installing addons now I find that I can't add using the button 'Download' for the addon, I have to copy the URL of the button, paste it in a new tab and press enter
