Upgraded to FF87 Dev Edition. All the XUL addons from here got disabled. Now what? #74

Closed mzso closed 3 years ago

As well, as some others. What gives? It worked initially, but while running FF decided to permanently disable them on the fly. How do I fix this? (The message was something about them cannot be verified, but localized to my language.)

I even tried upgrading to the latest config.js, which I didn't do the last update. (yet everything worked.) As well as the files in chrome/utils. It didn't help. Do extensions that were disabled like this remain disabled, or something is still wrong?

Well, apparently I can't restart any either, because the browser claims its corrupted. Uh, nope. I made a mistake. Can I re-enable them though without reinstalling? Where are the addons' state stored?

Legacy addons almost never delete settings on uninstall, so you probably can uninstall them, restart Fx then reinstall.

But make a backup of your profile folder first.

I see. Well, I managed to do it. Though for one of them I don't have the xpi. Do you know where the permanently disabled state is stored?

Do you know where the permanently disabled state is stored?

extensions.json in profile folder. If the toggle switch is not available in about:addons, you are probably looking for "appDisabled":true in each disabled legacy addon. With Fx closed, change it to false, then the toggle switch will reappear if you have fixed what caused the issue.

Thanks!

Closing this one because I guess your problem wasn't a bug caused by scripts/extensions in this repo. If you think otherwise and know the steps to reproduce the issue, please post it here and I'll reopen this.
