You're welcome. |

As I mentioned, addons.sqlite was superseded by addons.json. This |
| 30 |
happened with firefox version 25.0. So it only exists on systems which |
| 31 |
had older versions of firefox installed. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The installation here is around 6.5 years old and at this time there was |
| 34 |
firefox 22. However I rescued the profile from previous hardware so it |
| 35 |
might as well be more than 12 years. But at this time I probably still |
| 36 |
used SeaMonkey or even the Mozilla Suite. |
