Browser extensions disappeared after an update
This happens when a browser update disables or hides your extensions. They're not gone. They're just turned off. Open your browser's extension settings and turn them back on.
Browser updates sometimes automatically disable your extensions to check if they're compatible with the new version. Your extensions are still installed on your computer. They're just not active. We'll show you where to find them and turn them back on.
