I lost my addons with the recent update, and want them back.
Short and sweet, the recent update DELETED EVERYTHING. I did not expect (Without warning) to have all my addons disabled without being able to be re-enabled. Reason I'm aggrivated I had a book add on and lost all my bookmarks, with no rhyme or reason.
So before I get reaaaally aggrivated here. I Have the ESR (the option was given in the new one) installed, and it's still disabled (maybe from being disabled in the previous?) without an option to be re enabled.
---that said --- A few hours ago, it was running FINE, no problems, no issues, no need for an update. And now, I lost everything.
...aggrivation aside, is there any possible way to either get the add on back on (a certain manga reader.) or to get the data from it, so I can type out/at least see all my bookmarks and make a list before firefox decide...this is very aggrivating. Please help.
There is no image for the problem (as it's detailed..add ons not on with the new update- goal to get my bookmarks back) Any help would be appreciated.

I want to add in - since i posted this, I called geek squad tech support. With the add on disabled, seemingly permanently, they deleted and reinstalled it in ESR which said it was "There" but not there. It didn't work.
I tried a system restore, repeatedly. First time it said "turn off security, some files couldn't be accessed, and try restore again." ...and again ..and again. ESR was still installed, I had no A certain manga reader, all my bookmarks in the addon are gone.
I also noticed with ESR, all my history seems to be gone, yet my logins are still there, hence I have a slight bit of hope for it. I still need help, any ..is appreciated, otherwise this is an unwanted installation with no warning "after this update, your addons wont work, are you sure you want to update this?" ...I'm verrrrry aggrivated at this point.
