Since upgrading to 2.0.0.1 Firefox has just been acting weird. Sometime it will load pdf's sometimes not. I've attempted to change how it handles file types but when i go to Tools>Options>Content>File types>Manage it doesn't list any files. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, created new profile...considered switching back to IE this is getting really irritating.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools>Options>Content>File types>Manage
2. No extensions/file types listed. Unable to change any settings on how file types are handled.
Actual Results:  
I got frustrated and opened IE in order to access the files properly.

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to edit how file types are handled.

default theme. no crash,

WFM.  Reporter, can you verify whether you're still seeing this issue in the latest release of Firefox with a clean profile?
