You can install directly the xpi that the studies automatically install when enabled to fix the issue. See here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19826903 I've tried it and I had to put the xpi http link in a new tab else firefox think it is ycombinator that try to install the addon (despite that you click yourself on the link). But when installed, all addons go re-enabled instantaneously. -- Alexis Murzeau PGP: B7E6 0EBB 9293 7B06 BDBC 2787 E7BD 1904 F480 937F
