Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

Since Firefox Sync didn't work, I manually copied my profile from the 1st computer to a 2nd. (I think these were in ~/Libraries/Application Support/Firefox/profiles on MacOS.)

Actual results:

Most accessibility settings transferred without trouble, but add-ons did not.

Expected results:

All settings should have copied.

Seems to be an issue with their display on the smaller screen, and losing customization, rather than losing the add-ons themselves.
