firefox addons doesn't keeps refering to my home folder

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I try to install a firefox addon in Ubuntu 9.04 lately most of time it won't install also my addons listing under tools menu in firefox no longer works. I also have Linux Mint 7 which is based on Ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop computer and it doesn't have this problem. I also have other Firefox 3.5.3 browsers (Icecat, Swiftfox, Swiftweasel, Shiretoko) installed in Ubuntu 9.04 and they all have the same problem. The problem is caused by the advanced setting on the Firefox addons page on Linux Mint 7 there is no advanced setting on the Firefox addons page so same Firefox 3.5.3 web browsers have no problem installing Firefox addons. I Synaptic I have installed firefox-3.0 branding, firefox -3.5 branding, firefox-3.5-dev, firefox-3.5 dbg and firefox-3.5 gnome support. I have the same in Linux Mint 7. I don't understand how the advanced setting in firefox addons came on because I didn't put it there. I find it odd that this same problem didn't show up in Linux Mint 7 which is based on Ubuntu 9.04 also Virtualbox doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.04 but it does work okay on Linux Mint 7. I have an install for Ubuntu which I got from Linux Format Magazine perhaps if I reinstalled Ubuntu 9.04 that would get rid of this problem
