Can't remove add-ons
Hello, I'm having a problem with my profile and I can't remove my add-ons. When I click "Remove" next to my add-ons, they won't go away. This problem does not happen when I start a new profile or when I'm in Safe Mode. How can I fix this? Also, how can I transfer my tabs over to another profile and restore them?

Re: Can't remove add-ons
"Add on" as in a Plugin or "add on" as in an extension?
Which, plugin or extension, or all of them, or... ?

"Add-on" as in an extension. This happens with all of them. How can I fix the problem with the "Remove" button next to them not working? Like I said earlier, this doesn't happen in a new profile or in Safe Mode.

Re: Can't remove add-ons
Moving to Firefox Support as this is clearly a profile specific issue (based on your own comments) and not a bug.

Re: Can't remove add-ons
Since you say that it works fine in safe-mode then I would consider that it is one of your extensions blocking that ability to remove stuff...possible?

Re: Can't remove add-ons
Time to create a new profile and migrate critical data from the old, installing extensions one at a time and testing before adding the next.

Re: Can't remove add-ons
Thank you, but how can I copy the tabs from my previous profile over? I don't know how to do it.

Re: Can't remove add-ons
With FF closed, copy sessionstore.jsonlz4 from old to new (overwriting new if necessary).

Re: Can't remove add-ons
Thank you very much. I tried doing what you said. However, the tabs didn't copy over. Did I do something wrong?

Re: Can't remove add-ons
Try it again.
If you have not already set FF to restore its' tabs on load, then you should be able to open them from History | Restore Previous Session.

Re: Can't remove add-ons
Thank you. I tried it and it worked. However, when I try and import my styles from the previous profile into Stylus, I keep getting a message saying "Nothing was changed", and the styles won't show up. How can I fix this?
