Firefox +1 Mega Thread

Given that NoScript disappeared before, what evidence do I have that it's an issue with Adblock Plus rather than with Firefox itself?

Most likely, otherwise other extensions would disappear as well.

They did in my case. I had to install them anew. The preferences in prefs.js were still there, though.

But only AdBlock is still disappearing right?

After reinstalling it? No, now it works and appears as it should.

BTW: I had noticed that the addons had vanished in the extensions.ini file. I replaced that with the file from my backup. After that they reappeared in the add-ons manager but it was not possible to activate them. Strange.

Both Adblock Plus and Firegestures disappeared on the upgrade from FF 11 to 12, this time on OS X 10.6. I have not experienced any disappearing add-ons at any time except immediately after an upgrade.

I'm not familiar with the files that tlu mentioned, so if you want to know their contents you'll have to tell me where to look.


P.S. Where can I get an old version of Firefox? I'd like to attempt to reproduce the problem.

I'm running a few versions of FF all away up to FF15 and I never had that bug happen so far. Looking on with interest.

You might also need an old version of the add-ons:
