Michael,
I honestly have no clue why that works. Our installer actually disables and re-enables the plugins during the upgrade process, so it shouldn't have been necessary. Either way, what matters is that it works!
Glad we could help get you going. As always, should you have any other questions or need more help, just let us know.
Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for JFBConnect, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It certainly isn't required, but is very appreciated:

Thanks,
Alex
