I mostly use Seamonkey for my main browsing, but I do use the latest Firefox for other things that require an updated browser. I'm currently testing Waterfox (meant to do this for a while now), though I'll most likely continue to use Firefox. ATM, addons are not coming back for me, and cannot download them in Firefox, but download fine in Waterfox.

Edit: So it's Sunday, and the two profiles that I have using the latest Firefox still cannot get the addons restored, even when downloading them from the site (“Download failed. Please check your connection”). I decided to make a new test profile, and attempted to download the addons. And to my surprise, they downloaded fine, no “Download failed. Please check your connection” error message.

I’m guessing that I now have two botched profiles, which I can’t seem to get addons working on them. Even though I can simply make two brand new profiles, someone over at Firefox should not be screwing around with people’s profiles because “they know better”. I was planning to move my other profiles from Firefox version 54 over to the updated Firefox, but now I scrapped that plan. Might totally go with Waterfox or something along the line. What’s to say this won’t happen again, where the new profiles I make don’t end up getting botched the same. Just hope the Lab Computers at my job that I’m in charge of are not borked the same. I already hate dealing with Windows computers, don’t need another thing driving me nuts. XD
