smcleod on May 5, 2019 | parent | context | favorite | on: Firefox 66.0.4 is out, fixes disabled add-ons

The fix doesn't seem to work if you've been using Firefox Beta (67.0b16), or if you then install Stable (66.0.4) and sign in to sync - all addons are still marked as "legacy" and not enabled.

However, if you find each one in the store and (re-)install them - they work again and their data is back intact as expected.

Just in case someone misread this like I did, you need to reinstall each add-on. Not FF Beta itself.

Indeed, I meant re-install the addons.
