How do I find all of the extensions that I had on firefox before I clicked on refresh which should be the word "RESET TO DEFAULTS"

I clicked in refresh thinking it would just reload it all. I am pissed as I just got back most of my extensions, (just not all) You could also make a list of Extensions that could be clicked on to reinstall them one at a time or all at once.

This is getting old, I prefer Firefox over Edge or all other browsers, as of this text I am thinking of looking for anything better, as it is getting crappy.

You can check out the extensions.json file in the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop to see what extensions you had previously installed.

When you use the Firefox refresh feature then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks and history, Form Data, tabs) is automatically imported. The current Firefox profile folder will be moved to an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop. Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.

It is possible to recover data from the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
