The title pretty much says it all: I cannot load temporary addons anymore. They show up on the “about:debugging” page after I try to load them, but do not show any signs of running.

How to solve this problem? anyone has idea?

Same issue here. I found a bugreport in bugzilla saying this bug won’t be fixed because it shouldn’t happen for long … It’s been 10 monthts now :frowning: 1548017 - XULStore Can't find profile directory with ProfileManager RESOLVED (nobody) in Core - SQLite and Embedded Database Bindin…

If you’re unsure that it is the same bug, report a new bug. It’s better to have duplicates than no info… If you are fairly certain that it’s the same thing, post a comment on there.
