265152 - Extension page will not open - will not install new extensions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264985

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Steven Fackler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

After a while of using Mozilla Firefox, I can't open the Extensions menu under
Tools.  I click on it, and the mouse icon shows that the computer is thinking,
but nothing happens.  After around 10 seconds, the mouse changes back to the
normal one.  This problem goes away for about 2-3 weeks if I unistall Firefox,
and delete the Mozilla folder in Application Data.  If I just uninstall and
reinstall Firefox, it does not go away.  I think this may come from attempting
to install an extension from http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php, but I'm
not sure.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firefox
2. Install an Extention from u.m.o
3. Install an Extension from http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php (maybee)
4. Wait a week

Actual Results:  
When I try to install an extension, the box pops up asking if it's ok.  I click
the "OK" button, and then Firefox just sits.  Everything works, it's just that
the Extensions menu doesn't open.

Expected Results:  
The Extensions menu should have popped up and showed it downloading.

What are the extensions you were installing? Did you uninstall any extensions?
Any extension-related error messages? Please comment in bug 264985.
