Nearly all addons stop working after restart. How to fix?

1. Nearly all addons stop working every time I restart Firefox.
I have to manually disable and re-enable each addon to make them working again.

It takes considerably long time the first time I load the first website after I restart Firefox.
Also it may suddenly hang after using for a long time.

What's up? How could I fix them?

2. I would like to transfer all settings, cookies/local storage, addons (settings and files etc.) to a fresh copy of Firefox portable, to see if those issues would be fixed. What should I do? Which files do I need to backup?

Thank you.

Tiny advice

Personalizations are saved within the C:\***\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data folder. Do not delete your old installation, just make copies for tests.

Also try online synchronization methods.

The bugs will be transferred

The bugs will be transferred to the new copy too if I simply copied the whole Data folder.

Could the online synchronization transfer all settings/files of the addons to the new copy?

Thank you.

- Only if the bug is related

- Only if the bug is related to your personal settings.
- I don't use Firefox, feel free to try!
