I had the bloglines extension installed.  I then installed the newest bookmarks
synchronizer extension.  They both appear to be installed, however the bloglines
extension is no longer functioning.  I restarted, reinstalled bloglines
extension, restarted, and it still isn't functioning.

(Not functioning means icon doesn't appear in lower right and options don't
appear in the contextual menu)

Extension bugs/incompatibilities should be reported to their developers, not here.

Please contact Torisugari (BookmarksFTP author) and Bloglines tech support
telling them about the problem.

On further investigation, I was able to uninstall both extensions, then restart
and reinstall both successfully.

To me, this suggests that there really is a bug in Firefox that causes
extensions to stop working in some circumstances.

Comment 3

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

extensions' behaviour depends on the order you installed them. If they work
after installing one of them first and don't work after installing them in
reverse order, that's probably the event handlers bug.

please do contact these extensions' authors nevertheless if the problem is
reproducible.

Unfortunately, it seems not to be reproducible.  When I tried again to reproduce
it, in either order, it worked okay.

I realize that this makes it extremely difficult for someone to figure out what
might have gone wrong.  However, if sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't,
that does seem like a bug to me.

I will contact the two authors as well, though.
