every time firefox has an update different add ons do not work after the update.i use my computer and add ons for about 6 hours per day. the add ons are ESSENTIAL. i am sick and tired of updating then having to go back to a previous version. i used to love firefox now i am beginning to hate it almost as much as chrome and IE

I can understand your frustration. The reason for compatibility checks and the resulting deactivation of your add-ons, however, is the concern for your own safety and robustness of your environment (... you may have had some bad experience in this regard yourself, for instance with Flash crashing now and then).

Go to the page Tools > Add-ons and click "Extensions" to open the page with currently installed add-ons. There, you can reactivate disabled add-ons or - what's better in any case - look for updates and/or more recents replacements of your older add-ons.
