What version are you updating from?
Note that the extensions database relies on the values of some preferences to load add-ons and recover their state in Firefox 52, so depending on what exactly is causing bug 1461137, that may be the problem.
The symptoms described here are another side effect of losing preferences. If we get to the bottom of bug 1461137 and this problem remains, feel free to re-open.
