Addons All Disappeared and Quit Working
Turned on laptop this morning after arriving at work -- Addon icons gone and Addons not functioning. Why was this fault in 152.0.5 not disclosed before committing to upgrading the the browsers I support for distance consultants ? Click the Manage Extensions icon and there are no "gears" to click to "Pin to toolbar". This is terrible. I have a half hour until those folks arrive at work in Lost Angeles. Wow. I want to revert to a previous version. Where do I get them ? I am a DBA and NOT support for unstable browsers. FF consistently causing me time and money but "befehl ist befehl" and it is the browser we are ordered to use. I believe management has conflated Free and Functional/useful when selecting our S/W tools.

Usually regression bugs are not known before releasing, otherwise they won't be released. Given the 152.0.5 patch is literally just a single setting fix for outdated payment methods this doesn't get anywhere close to addon functionality, and bug dashbord for v152 https://bugdash.moz.tools/#tab.reo is also quiet, this mostly doesn't seem to align with any actual code change. You can however pick any binary you wish from ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ — every version's archived there. Please note you're on your own figuring out profile compatibility or data loss re: Install an older version of Firefox so make sure you have another copy of your profile stored safely elsewhere before trying these steps on release data.
(I'd just restart into Troubleshoot Mode to disable any addons; then restart back into normal mode to reactivate all the profile functionality, and see if the expected addon entrypoints come back.)
Your company should consider professional support firefox.com/browsers/enterprise instead of relying on community for its IT operations. Not that it has SLAs like "in 30 minutes" available, but there definitely are options on collaborating on escalations, allocating engineers from different time zomes into incidents etc. — worth forwarding to someone in your org if you feel you're not getting the support you require for your work.
