My addons did not automatically start working again after Firefox automagically disabled them all (and doesn't it give me pause that that can happen!), so I dug into it.
I found a blog post explaining that they used the "studies" feature as a hot fix delivery mechanism. I had disabled it, since I don't want anyone messing with my browser behind my back (AHEM!). In the comments for the post there is a direct link to the hot fix so you don't have to mess with enabling studies and then waiting up to 6 hours for the hot fix to apply itself and then remember to disable it again. I suppose it was a risk to go ahead and install that, but so far so good.
My addons work again. For now. I remember when I owned the computer and the software on it, and it kept functioning until I decided to change something. MUTTERS. A LOT.
