2.
3.
Actual Results:  
All addons do not start

Do you have multiple Firefox versions installed? Do some add-ons load when you click on the link? Is it possible you have multiple Firefox profiles?

My thinking: Might be opening a different version of Firefox due to Windows file/protocol associations - the http/https association could be a different version or have some command line arguments (i.e. safe mode, or profile selection. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 shows how to check the associations on XP

I do have more than one version installed 3.6b1 at the time I had the issue and 3.5.4.  Some add-ons did load. I only have one profile. 

The issue seems to have resolved itself with 3.6b2 and the add-ons are all loading now.
