(In reply to comment #3) > I am the administrator. Can you try to reproduce with a recent trunk build to see if it is fixed in the current code base?
Reporter: Please see if you can reproduce using this build - http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2005-07-16-05-aviary1.0.1/
Same problem. Firefox works great, but the extensions don't.
i uninstalled firefox, and the program folder and cleaned out the registry. reinstalled with 1.06 and still had the same problem. albeit i found ti weird my bookmarks were still there. so there was somethign that wasn't deleted.
has anyone found any new ideas for me to solve this, i already reinstalled 1.06

these problem seemed to happen about the time the new flash player came out. Because after that, my adblock wasn't working so i tried to uninstall it, and reinstall it. Thats when i noticed that i could not get the extension manager to work, and installing extension only resulted in the 3,2,1 screen to close out. the extensions that i had before the error started remained, and continued to update when a new version is out, and the updates take effect and still work.
Most of these are probably bug 264985.
no response - resolving -> wfm if this is still a problem with 1.5 please open a new bug - with the rewrites that have occurred chances are if you experience this symptom it would be for a different reason than with 1.0.x
