After update TB102 thunderbird hangs, so did a safe mode start and checked the box for turning off addons. I saw too late that this is a permanent option. Is there a way to turn it on again? Thanks in advance.

Hi dypfryser, Yes, I see now, I managed to replicate the issue on my own laptop. After deleting the add-ons (using the button with the three dots on the right in the list of add-ons) and re-installing they became available again.

First disable Troubleshoot mode as described here , then reactivate your add-ons through the Tools > Add-ons and Themes menu.

Hi Tom, thanks for your response. But I don't have the option to turn of safe mode because safe mode is already off. And because I checked the disable addon's option, the addon's is now permanent off.

And you cannot re-enable your add-ons from the menu Tools > Add-ons And Themes?

Hi Tom, no there is no option in the addon menu, to turn it on again. The rest is all greyed out.
