Hmm. Prob best to wait but the "turn system clock back 2 days and readd the add ons" should work as a temp fix.

This is what worked for me:

1. Go into the Options and select Privacy & Security on the left.
2. Scroll down until you find Firefox Data Collection and Use and tick these boxes:
   • Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla
   • Allow Firefox to install and run studies
   • Allow Firefox to make personalised extension recommendations
   • Allow Firefox to send backlogged crash reports on your behalf
3. In the address bar type in about:config and press Enter.
4. Search for app.normandy.run_interval_seconds and change from default value (21600) to 1.
5. Search for app.normandy.first_run and change from false to true.
6. Close Firefox and allow 10 seconds for it to fully close before restarting Firefox.
7. When you next open Firefox your addons should appear again, if not very shortly after opening.

I reset all the values back to how they were after my addons were restored and everything is working well for me.

Firefox v66.0.4 (which fixes this problem) is expected to be released imminently.

EDIT: I literally just checked again, (by going to Help/About), and the update was available. And it's fixed the problem (on Windows, anyway).

Presumably GNU/Linux distros will take a bit of time to recompile and build repository packages.

Thanks, just did it, and it also allowed FB purity to update, I never realised just how many ads there were until the blockers failed to work

I want to watch ... the Tour de Yorkshire today but can't.


Not in UK.

That's a pity as both womens and mens races had great finishes in Scarborough, and another one yesterday in Leeds for the last stage of the mens race.

No it isn't. The timing was just coincidental.

It horrific isn't it! I don't think I'd use the web if ad-blockers weren't available.

I was shook once I noticed ads & then read up on issue after installing adguard.
Thankful that adblock is back & normal service has resumed.
