Selecting Tools>Extensions or Themes from the menu results in the window
appearing but with no contents except the 3 buttons at the bottom. Normally
there would be several themes listed & lot of extensions. They are all still
installed in my home dir. & still functioning exactly as before, just not
visible in the Extensions/Theme Manager.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start firefox
2.Select Tools>Extensions or Themes
3.Window appears with no items listed

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Displayed Themes or Extensions

Any errors in console? Any ideas what could have caused this?
Could you make sure you've got correct permissions on extensions.rdf and attach
it here? Can you reproduce it with Firefox 1.0 release? (there's no point in
testing post 20041107 branch builds)

I have removed the nightly build & replaced it with the 1.0 release version -
the extensions window is still empty.

I have upgraded to Firefox-1.0 (en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110  (Debian package
1.0+dfsg.1-2) and this bug is now completely RESOLVED .Updating extensions seems
to work as well. which it didn't always do before.
Thank you to anyone who spent time on this issue.
