the PC is restarted, all firefox extensions are removed! # aargh

Since upgrading to Windows 10... Every time I restart my PC, I lose all of my firefox extensions, plug-ins are OK just the extensions are lost...

I'm going back to IE11 and permanently remove firefox... < < you have not all such extensions > > is a joke?

It's frustrating. Some of the programs which run at Windows Startup 'cleaning' can change the settings of your browser. Can you make sure that they do not affect the settings of Firefox files?

The next time that happens, could you check if there is a problem of a broken modules page or if extensions were actually removed? One of the reasons for the empty page add-on to have a list of extensions would be a corruption of database extensions Firefox. You can force Firefox to rebuild the files as follows:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename these files you will find:

  • compatibility.ini to something like compatibility - old.ini
  • Extensions.ini to something like extensions - old.ini
  • Extensions.JSON to something like extensions - old.json
  • Extensions.SQLite to something like extensions - old.sqlite (may not exist depending on how long you have used this settings folder)

When you start Firefox back up again, he should study your profile folder and other files to rebuild the list. He will probably ask to approve you some of the extensions. Once things settle down, could you check back the page modules.

Reappear extensions - or are they really gone?

Also, you can start your profile folder Firefox containing your backup settings. This article has tips on it: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.
