My add-ons in FireFox have gone missing!

more options

I have been having a problem with my firefox. Recently, or rather, 1 day ago, my add-ons suddenly all disappeared. Although i am still able to see my add-ons i have downloaded when i click on tools>add-ons, they just dont seem to appear.

I have managed to find the information that i have stored inside my add-ons when i go to help>troubleshoot settings>open containing folder. However, i still have no idea as to how to make my add-ons reappear.


This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I figured it out!!! Simply press the alt button and the firefox toolbar will reappear for a short time. Then click tools. You should see add-ons, then click extensions. Fixed! My problem anyway. :-) Hope it helps you too.
