After updating the Firefox you may notice that some of your add-ons are disabled by the Firefox. This is because the old add-ons are not compatible with the newer version of firebox. For reliability purpose the incompatible add-ons are disabled.
If you want them back you need to find the updated compatible version of add-on on https://addons.mozilla.org/. But it may happen that the compatible version of that add-on is not available on the site since the developer has to update the add-on for new version of Firefox.
But it is not the case that the old add-ons can't work with new Firefox. Many of these add-on could work efficiently but the only problem is that they are build fo nearticular versions of Firefox and the newer versions of Firefox won't allow them to install.
But we can bypass this incompatibility issue using following steps.
1] Open Firefox. Go to address bar and type about:config and hit enter.
2] Firefox will open a list of values. Right Click anywhere on the list, Select New and click Boolean.
3] Enter "extensions.checkCompatibility.[Version]" in the Name field.
Version: Type the version no of your Firefox. you can find it in Help > about Firefox.
4] Select FALSE value and click OK.
5] Restart Firefox.
6] Done. Now you can install incompatible add-ons in Firefox.
