I cannot install, delete, disable or upgrade any add-ons.
I cannot install, delete, disable, enable or upgrade any add-ons. The Restart Firefox procedure is not working at all. After a Restart, the Add-Ons section states, "Restart Firefox to complete your changes."
I've tried renaming and deleting the extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.rdf, compatibility.ini and extensions.sqlite files, and Firefox recreates those files when I log back in with the same issue present. I've also checked Task Manager to make sure Firefox is completely shut down, which it would have to be to rename or delete the above extentions. Starting Firefox in Safe Mode also doesn't solve the problem.
Short of creating a whole new Profile, which would be a major pain, I'm at a loss as to what to try next. I'm currently using Firefox 3.6.10, which I downloaded with the use of the "Check for Updates" button, and I'm running Win XP.
At least 20 other people are having the same issue on a problem page that hasn't had a reply or workable solution in 3 weeks. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

BTW, a previous thread regarding this issue was labeled as "Solved". While it may have helped at least one person, there are a few of us that have tried all the suggestions mentioned in the thread and are still having the same issue.
Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
Eureka! I have found the culprit! After using MR Tech Toolkit to disable all of my add-ons, Java Console showed a large red ! next to it, stating it was incompatible with Firefox 3.6.10. This red exclamation point was NOT showing up before. I slowly re-enabled each add-on and retested for functionality until Java was the only add-on not enabled. With Java disabled, I was able to uninstall the Console, then went to Java's site and downloaded the most recent version, jre-6u21-windows-i586-s.
Java is back and my add-ons now work. Hope this helps someone else.
