Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Build ID: 20151216114437 Steps to reproduce: Install Firefox 43 in Windows and Linux Use the same profile Install third-party addons Actual results: Since Firefox 43, addons are being turned off every time you switch between builds (same version but different operating systems). No notification of any kind is shown. Expected results: In previous versions of Firefox, addons would remain active provided the version numbers matched. I could not find a bug explaining why this was changed. At the very least there should be a Preference allowing the user to deactivate this as it is not the expected behaviour.
