Firefox Refresh or disable extensions randomly?

Firefox Profils

I've been using Firefox for the past few months, and I've noticed a strange issue that happens occasionally when I launch the browser. It's almost like Firefox partially resets itself. My extensions are still installed, but they stooped working and their stored sign-in info like in Bitwarden or Raindrop.io is gone. I have to go into the Extensions settings, disable them, and then enable them again to get them working. For example, I use a Speed Dial extension. After one of these sudden resets, my homepage is still set to the Speed Dial page, but it just shows a blank page. I have to go to the extension settings, disable the extension, and enable it again before it works.

Some of my Firefox UI settings also revert to their defaults. For example: - The bookmarks bar, which I have set to never show, appears again. - The sidebar, which I moved to the right side, moves back to the left. - Other UI elements and customization are also reset to their default states.

I'm not entirely sure what triggers this. I think it happened once after a Firefox update, but the next time it happened there was no update involved. Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this, and is there a way to prevent it from happening again?

That sounds more like Firefox is having trouble with the profile than the extensions just randomly turning themselves off. The fact that your sidebar, bookmarks bar and other settings are getting reset makes me think something is messing with the profile settings.

I’d try Troubleshoot Mode first and see if it happens again. If it doesn’t, one of your extensions could be causing it.

If it keeps happening, I’d try creating a new Firefox profile and using that for a while. If everything works normally there, you’ve probably got a corrupted profile or something in the old one causing the trouble.

I wouldn’t use Refresh Firefox right away. That can fix things, but it also wipes out a lot of your custom settings. Better to figure out what’s actually causing it first.
