This is the second time I have installed a windows 7 update and all my extensions are disabled with no button to enable in the extension window. Last time I reinstalled them all, which is a pain. This time it happened after installing update "kb/3006137." I am using Firefox 36.0. Windows 7 64 bit. Any solutions to this problem? I don't like the thought of going back before the update, since critical updates are critical.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.

If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.

Hi, it isn't 'critical,' it's just Update changes the currency symbol of Lithuania from the Lithuanian litas (Lt) to the euro (€) in Windows. The Microsoft info is here, but took ages to load!

I hid it anyway, so unless you need it, you could consider removing it, and seeing if that resolves the problem.
