Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Hello! I recently updated to Lucid, and I noticed Firefox doesn't start up as usual anymore.
The first thing that appears after running FF is the “add-ons window”, the one that usually appears when FF notices updates available for some extensions. However, there are no updates displayed in that window. If I click “skip” the window goes away and the usual FF window appears. No idea what's going on.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Sometimes Firefox profiles can become corrupt and/or extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.
You can start the profile manager with the following command:
firefox -ProfileManager
