'bootstrap state is invalid' at start; hotfix not installed?

RandomTroll

When I start Firefox I get this error message; then it tells me that firefox-hotfix.xpi isn't installed - but it is. I re-installed it a few times. And when I quit I get the error message 'firefox-hotfix is missing bootstrap shutdown method'.

I don't have a 'real' problem, as far as I know.
