Extension List Dumper may help.

They usually just recommend deleting addons.ini, addons.sqlite,
extensions.ini & extensions.sqlite. the app will scan the addons and
rebuild the .ini & .sqlite files.

FEBE and CLEO may help make reinstalling addons easier. Provided
they're used before they're needed.

Some addons won't work with the new UI. They require the status bar.
And without the status bar, what's left gets too crowded now. Most
annoying.
