Update to 69.0 64-bit on Windows 7 deleted all add-ons. Is there any way to retrieve without reinstall manually?

updating to v69.0 using supplied window prompts resulted in reconfigured browser defaults. Bookmarks seem intact but add-ons previously manually added over the years are all gone except for Shockwave. Want to know if there is a shortcut to regain previous add-ons without manually reinstalling 1 by 1. Not sure if years of manual internal settings were retained; i.e. number limits for various settings, FFmpeg config, etc.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar. How many profiles are listed? How many should be there? Also, open the profile folder in your file explorer.
