User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0 Build ID: 20160502172042 Steps to reproduce: I restarted Firefox to apply update. Extension FT Deep Dark was incompatible with the newer version. But Firefox offered me to update FT Deep Dark as well. Actual results: Firefox started with default skin. When trying to find the cause, I found FT Deep Dark disabled. The workaround is to enable it and restart Firefox to get it back on. Since Firefox seems to mark extensions as incompatible quite often, it is annoying. Expected results: Firefox detects that the incompatibility problem was resolved, and doesn't disable the extensions that are no longer incompatible.
