Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu version: Intrepid beta

Since Intrepid is a beta, there are obviously frequent updates, including updates to firefox. Each time firefox is updated, all my extension settings are reset to their defaults, and I must reconfigure all of them. Settings of firefox itself seem to remain intact.

you really have a bunch of extensions installed. such a huge amount of extensions can cause all kind of issues. you think you can isolate your issue with just one extension installed?

I started over with a new profile, and installed a whole bunch of extensions, and there's no problem. I suppose this was an isolated thing.
