AdNauseam 3.21.4 shows welcome switch page on ever launch of Firefox #2536

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

[X] AdNauseam is the only extension
[X] AdNauseam uses default lists and settings
[X] Using a new, unmodified browser profile

Description

Since update to the latest version, every time I restart the browser, AdNauseam shows the webcome screen with the three major switches turned off and I have to turn them each time for the extension to work.

Sounds like a corrupted data file in the firefox profile. @apoapostolov could you please test it on a fresh firefox profile?

I got the same issue. I try installing AdNauseam on the same computer after a mv .mozilla .mozilla_orig and it's work, no bug after the installation, and restart, no need to reconfigure. But because I'm not the only one, I guessing the probability that two persons got the exact same corruption are not big Beside AdNauseam I've also got : uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Tridactyl and Dark Reader.

I don't have any warning when I'm starting firefox, so I don't even know how to check if my profile are corrupted.

@jas01 best thing would be to create a fresh firefox profile and test if the problem persists...

Yes I did, I what I mean when I say I launch mv .mozilla .mozilla.orig and yes the problem disappear. But my point is I don't have any warning about corrupt profile.
