edit: Yeah, the problem has worsened.
So yeah, I wanted to paste a video on chatbox of a friend on Whatsapp web but I wasn’t able to. When I tried to find a solution for it, I found this (Mozilla forums link) and it says, I have to reset my firefox browser. Now, my firefox is pretty customized, is there a way to save the extensions I have downloaded and their settings before I purge everything basically?
I use Linux btw, but, this is not Distro specific. If you follow the forums link, you would see that that guy was using some shitty distro called Windows 10
PS: I love firefox and can never bring myself to use Chrome, but this has been a utter waste of time and I wish I didn’t have to do this. This wasted a lot of time.

Extensions either save their settings in the “cloud” or locally.
If you’ve got Firefox Sync setup, the ones which write to “cloud” will be automatically backed up for you.
Some extensions also offer to export your config to a file so that you can import it later.
It all varies by extension and impossible to tell w/o knowing which ones you’re using.
That said, you can always safely experiment using a new profile w/o needing to delete the current one. Create a new profile (launch firefox using
firefox -P) and see if copy-paste works properly in there. If yes, then you can add your extensions one by one to the new profile w/o losing your settings.actually, it’s working now, but I might try that when things turn south, again. Thank you btw!
