Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Usually after a new version of the firefox-3.5 (and/or xulrunner?) [some] extensions don't work anymore: Tools->Add-ons report "restart firefox to complete your changes" but even if I do this, I got the same message after the restart, and extension can't work. If I hit "cancel" for upgrade on such an extension, then disable - restart - enable - restart it works again, but of course only with the old version of that extension. NoScript is such an extension for example, but it's possible that every extension is affected if they have upgrade ...
