Firefox 6 Addons issue w/ Flagfox

Post by paulcoholic » Thu Aug 25, 2011 7:44 pm

I received an error message, but first, what happened prior: I had disabled the Shareaholic extension. After I restarted Firefox 6, the FF Dock icon showed 2 Firefoxes bouncing, I ForceQuit one of them. After restarting Firefox, a Flagfox error was reported. Now, one consequence of the issue is that although my extensions are intact, when I goto Tools---> Addons---> Extensions, the menu says that I have none installed. But, they are there.

I have an iMac, Intel Core Due, running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Now, for the error message:

"Sorry, the Flagfox extension has encountered a problem. The following error output and a Flagfox preferences dump has been sent to Tools -> Error Console.

This is a Firefox bug that's becoming more common with each update and the Flagfox error is merely a symptom of it. If you've tried reinstalling Flagfox or any addon and it's not helping, you can delete extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite in your Firefox profile to reset the Addon Manager. You'll have to re-disable any addons you had installed but disabled prior to the reset, but you won't lose any settings for individual addons themselves.
