All extensions stop working
I've been having an issue over the past month or so where all my extensions stop working. I can't see any cause, and I usually don't even notice until I try to use one of the extensions. They work again if I restart firefox, or if I disable and re-enable the extensions one by one. It seems to happen every couple of days. Any ideas what could be causing this?
