@dbarev Thank you for this report, I will analyse this problem and come back to you.

OK, I found a workaround that might be useful in actually resolving the bug. First when trying to reproduce the issue I found out that this bug occurs not only with 5 installed add-ons but also depending on the type of add-ons and the install sequence it could even turn up with 2-3 add-ons installed. The workaround is as follows:

1. First install all needed add-ons
2. Restart the app, some will be disabled and will not work -> this is how we reproduce the issue
3. Shut down the app, then go to the profile folder and delete the following files: addonStartup.json.lz4 and addonStartup.json.lz4.tmp (note: they will be recreated automatically on next start)
4. Restart the app, all add-ons will be disabled. Open about:addons and manually enable all add-ons. From this moment add-ons will be persistently enabled upon restarts

The above needs to be repeated upon installation of new add-ons.

FYI: The bug is still there is the latest firefox-portable-win64-67.0.4-18 release

@dbarev I haven't dealt with the problem yet.

@dbarev Can you test this release? Thanks!

@crazy-max , this issue still persists with latest build 69.0.1 (64-bit).
The workaround is still possible but due to the change in the addons interface it is a real pain to do it manually ....

@dbarev Yes, the problem unfortunately persists.

Hello,
I don't know if this helps but I've installed the version 70.0-29 on top of my "old" version 69.0.3-27 and I have 9 add-ons correctly running.

@clemthi , you have to read the description of the bug carefully. Already installed and running addons are fine but try to install new ones and you will experience it.

Hi @dbare, obviously my answer didn't help :)
I was more like providing another workaround.

This is fixed in latest release 72.0.2

@dbarev Do you have a link to the changes made by Firefox about this?
Related Mozilla bug seems to be 1429838 - After restoring profile to a different location, paths in extensions.json are incorrect.

@crazy-max , not really, I am also not sure which build exactly fixed it, cause I jumped to the last one now but skipped some of the previous releases just after the renaming to phyrox. I have however identified a new bug - much more severe, will post it.
