1563620 - Extensions stop working when moving profile

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1429838

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[FirefoxPortableIsNotReallyPortable]

Attachment: Broken extensions (enabled, but without "Options" button)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

When profile folder is moved (or renamed) and its path updated in profiles.ini, the extensions stop working.

Actual results:

The extensions stop working; they are only listed in about:addons, but without "options" button and do not show up in Overflow menu or Toolbar. Only after you click "disable" and again "enable" are they working again.

Expected results:

The extensions should work without going through about:addons list and disabling and re-enabling each one of them. Or perhaps an option of enabling/disabling all of them with one click should be provided.
