I've been having this problem for a while (not sure why I haven't reported it
before now).

When I open the extension manager using Tools->Extensions, it pops up, but none
of my extensions show up (including Tabbrowser Extensions, Adblock, Show in IE,
and Live HTTP Headers, all of which are working fine).



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have several extensions installed (mostly from texturizer rather than the Moz
site, now that I think about it).
2. Open Extension Manager

Actual Results:  
None of my extensions show up.


I'm a fairly aggressive user of nightly builds, so it's possible that there's
some weird configuration glitch on my machine that's causing this, but I'm
sufficiently aggressive that I've had to completely delete the Firefox directory
and reinstall a couple of times, so...

probably an extension compatibility problem (I guess TBE)?
Try a new profile (rename the old one) and use UMO extensions.
(Try w/o TBE and with TBE)

Interesting. Is there any plan to migrate people's profiles (where most
extensions are put these days) when they upgrade from older versions?

The problem actually extends further than just not showing the extensions, the
"get more extensions" button is hidden as well. 

Actually, htough, I was able to fix it by frotzing with it for a while. It
turned out that, though invisible, TBE was selected in the list and the
"Options" button was active. Clicking on that, closing it, and doing a few other
dances caused the problem to go away. It even showed TBE after that (though not
my other extensions). The Get More Extensions link appeared again, and I have
been able to reinstall my other extensions fine.

I think I'll close this, but feel free to reopen if you think it deserves more
of a look.
