Ok, I did a very dumb thing: I installed Waterfox, decided I didn't need it and when I uninstalled it I check "delete all settings". I didn't realize it was sharing all the settings with Firefox.
The funny (...) thing is that Firefox was running at the time, and it kept running without complaining for 4 days... today I closed it, open it again and... everything was gone!
I was able to "undelete" the old profile folder, recovering most of the files in there. Using them, I managed to restore my browsing session... the most important thing.
Now, I would like to re-install all the add-ons I had before. However, many of them were installed long ago, and often they were chosen among similar ones with similar names after trying them all. So, it will save me a lot of time and effort if I could retrieve the list of installed add-ons from the "undeleted" profile folder... any idea? FYI, I tried to just copy the old profile folder onto the new one, but I run a in a lot of problems... so, started from scratch again and just restored the session, and now I wondering how I can obtain the list of add-ons from the old profile, to be able to re-install them...
Thanks
