Firefox keeps disabling my addons after update

Post by vsub »

Every time I update,FF disables all addons in private mode
When ublock is disabled,I get tons of annoying ads everywhere
How is that safer

Have you set the addon to work in Private Mode ?

Check your Profile folder & see if you don't have some sort of numerically increasing named files.

(Not sure offhand where FF stores extension settings related to Private Browsing) but lets say they're in prefs.js (probably ? in extension*.* ?) then look for something like prefs.js, prefs-1.js, prefs-2.js, ... which might indicate a pe... but no, you're say on program update - not open open/close of FF...

Also check the dates (timestamp) of said file (pref.js or extension*.*, or whatever).

Hmm...
