All my extensions disabled when I updated to 141.0.2 (64-bit) and won't re-enable.

The moment my version of Firefox auto-updated to 141.0.2 (64-bit), all of my extensions disabled. There is no option to re-enable them and no indicator of why they are disabled.

I found that switching to a new profile allows them to work, but of course that's not really an option; I have huge amounts of custom stuff in eg. Greasemonkey that I cannot afford to lose.

What can I do to preserve my extensions without losing things like Greasemonkey scripts? Again, deleting them and reinstalling them is not an option if it would lose their individual configurations.

Chosen solution

Update for anyone else who encounters this issue: I found a solution.

First I closed firefox and moved all my extensions* folders and compatibility.ini file out of my Firefox profile folder (backing them up elsewhere), then started up firefox. Naturally this resulted in my extensions all disappearing.

Then I closed Firefox, and moved the extension* folders and compatibility.ini file back into the profile folder. For some reason, when I started Firefox back up after this, everything was fine and my extensions were back. I assume it reset some sort of cache that had gotten corrupted or something.
