addd-ons keep being disabled

The add-ons I install keep being disabled and don't work. This happens to ALL the add-ons that need restart and NONE of "install-ready". I reinstalled Firefox, disabled Avast, deleted all the files in the profile folder, but nothing helps. Is there any solution to this? Thanks!! At the moment I have Zotero add-on installed which has these symptoms.

Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.7 Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.0

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.


Update your Flash Player v16.0.0.296
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html


Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.

Thanks! I did that but it doesn't help.

And after firefox upgrade even the non-restart addons keep being disabled!

I found this, hope it helps.

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. See "Corrupt extension files": If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/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 possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files. You can also check for problems with preferences.
