Re-adds fine. Deauthorize, Remove the old hub setting, Enter IP and authorize the new one. press on the hub when it asks and you're good to go. There's a couple sections that mention add & remove so just try both if need be.

it doesn't let me scroll the list of lamps/rooms, so i can't control all of my lights because they're off the bottom of the extension popup

Doesnt work. It cant find my bridge automatically, so i entered the ip of the bridge manually, didnt work either, and yes i pressed the button on the bridge as instructed. Huegasm (another extension) works perfectly, found my bridge instantly and i just pressed the button. Done.
