After 3.6.10 all add-ons disappeared and a search for updates showed none needed. How do I get them back?

I am running on a Mac OSX 10.6.4. After updating Firefox to 3.6.10, a few add-on disappeared. Specifically, Delicious, 1Password, Stumble ON and Buckts. I looked for updates and none were available. I've run through the view menu and preferences but can't find an option to restore these functions. Do all these add-ons need to be updated to be compatible with 3.6.10 or is there something in the update that wiped out these views.

Add-ons that worked in 3.6.9 and earlier versions of 3.6 should also work in 3.6.10.

The first thing I would try is to delete the files that store details of installed add-ons. If one of those files is corrupt it can cause problems with add-ons not being listed. For details of how to do that see the corrupt extension files section of the unable to install add-ons article.

Thank you very much - that did it! I am back to normal. It is interesting that when you are used to working a certain way with your computer or browser and something disrupts it, the personal effect seems out of proportion to what happened.

Thanks again
