User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0
Build ID: 20140716183446

Steps to reproduce:

I am a user of all three variants of Firefox- Nightly, Aurora, and normal fiefox, for development purposes. Whenever i open one products and close it and opens the another product it shows updating Firefox browser wizard


Actual results:

it says firefox browser is updating and checking the compatibility of addons..
I also need to install all the addons again...


Expected results:

i think this screen should be avoided to make efficient launching of the browser. this problem must be addressed seriously, because it waste a lot of time for people who has more addons.
If i had a lot of addons i may need to kill an entire hour (Or more depending on the number of addons) installing the addons...
Are you using the same profile with each Firefox version? If yes, that's the cause.
Honestly, it's better to use a different profile with each version.
We're working to make this situation better in bug 1024110. For now, what Loic said is exactly right - you can find more info here: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
