why do my add-ons keep getting disabled?
why do my add-ons keep getting disabled?
ff keeps disabling add-ons that i have used for years and even keep a v. 5 to use the older add-ons and use the latest ff developer to use w/ more modern websites. ff even disables add-ons that worked perfectly well in ff developer and does not even give me the opportunity to re-enable them like i could before.
is there any way to force my old version to let ME decide what i want disabled/enabled?

Extensions can become disabled if the path of the profile folder changes. Try clearing extensions.databaseSchema in about:config then restart the browser.
thanks for the suggestion!
however, when i followed your instructions, all i saw was "34" and i have no idea what that means. tried putting i a 0, but that was disallowed, so i left it at 34. i had assumed there would be a list of some sort and i did not see way to "clearing" it.
how do i clear it?
thanks, wolfgang
What meant is to click the trashcan at the far right on the extensions.databaseSchema line to reset the pref and let Firefox create a new pref. In my Firefox 123.0.1 version the pref is 35, but you shouldn't change this pref to another number.
The Developer Edition version uses a dev-edition-default profile while the release update channel uses default-release (i.e. default-<update_channel>; DE is an exception as it predates the dedicated profile conception).
