User.js: OT: Extensions does not work when path changes [1429838]

Created on 17 Jun 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: arkenfox/user.js

I have troubles that, when I copy Firefox profile to another computer, the web extensions does not work.

Sometimes helps to restart Firefox to safe-mode and then back to normal.
But always works when on a new computer I disable extensions and enabled them back on.

If I remember correctly, this behavior started with Firefox 68.

Do anyone know why this is happening, and how to correct it?
Is there any preference that should be modified?

Thank you and cheers

More like since at least Quantum (FF57)

I don't. It's a clean newly created profile salted with your wisdom, but I agree than I need to do additional sanitation.
But you have helped me anyway pointed me to the right direction.
I need to do some special care with extensions.json file.

Thank you and cheers 鉂わ笍
