Is there a way I can get my Add-Ons BACK after "upgrading" to a version that keeps Cloudflare happy?

more options

I did an Upgrade to a version of Firefox that would bypass those "Your Browser Is Not Supported" messages that apparently come from "Cloud-flare." I figured [naievely!] that my addons would "port" to the upgrade. They didn't. Is there any way [e.g., a putative backup file, perhaps] that would allow this?

Thanks in advance...!

Hi Gray Cat, were you ever able to get your addons reinstalled? If you tell me what you had, I can assemble a list of links to the addons pages where you can redownload & install them.

If you really want to see if you can find your old addons, it will involve some digging in your system files & taking a look around. Please see this guide for that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1322197#answer-1384732

In Jscher2000's post, if you do not have a folder called "Old Firefox Data" on your desktop. Skip that & go straight to step 2.

I'm sorry that this happened in the first place. I always hate any type of data loss!

From which Firefox version did you update to 115 ESR as Firefox would normally pick up your old profile ? Why updating to 115 ESR and not to the current release?

TO Jscher2000 ---

I'm afraid that i DIDN'T see anything about a new profile OR a "Tune-up"

Please advise [and provide an email address, so I can get to you directly]
