Firefox randomly uninstalled several extensions that were in use
Today, while I was using my browser, I got notifications that several extensions I regularly use had been uninstalled - and that was only from the extensions which usually provide that info on being uninstalled!
Uninstalled were: - Tampermonkey - Browsec VPN (what I use when Mozilla VPN is unstable) - Stylus (which I use to make several sites usable/navigable) - Tumblr Outbox (wiping all saved outgoing ask messages I'd previously had saved!) and
Worst of all - ONETAB
Which had ~1000 tabs saved in it!
I couldn't find a way to recover OneTab as-was, so I was left with the option of reinstalling it which, according to the Devs, means that any recoverable data IS lost at that point.
So I want to know which bright spark's idea it was to randomly uninstall people's extensions for no given reason, especially when they're ones for which recovery is difficult to nigh-impossible.
I want to know who did this, why they did this, and what can be done to fix it, because a number of those saved tabs were for work. Others were for personal projects. Usually Firefox bundles this kind of thing in with an update and it usually fixes if you reload the browser - no dice today. So I want to know if I can just expect this kind of meddling going forwards or if I should start searching for a different browser entirely.
I came to Firefox to avoid Chrome nonsense. If I'm going to experience this, why would I continue to pay for the VPN or use the browser?

If Firefox starts up after an update without your bookmarks and other settings, check whether your data is available in a different profile:
Inside Firefox, type or paste about:profiles in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it. The About Profiles page will open. This page should list at least one profile and could list many.
The profile that Firefox is currently using will show:
This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted.
Please do not delete anything here; don't use any Remove buttons.
Do you have another profile named default or default-longnumber listed on this page? If so, you can check whether it is the one you were using recently by clicking its Launch profile in new browser button.
If it isn't what you want, simply close that new window.
If it IS what you want, click the Set as default profile button for that profile on the about:profiles page. Firefox will use it automatically at the next startup.
For more information see Recover user data missing after Firefox update or reinstall.
Note: If your bookmarks are not available in another Firefox profile, see Recover lost or missing Bookmarks for other solutions.
