Can't see the extensions in the extensions dialogue after firefox starts. When I close the window and try again, they're there. This is reproducible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Tools -> Extensions
3. Close extensions window
4. Tools -> Extensions
Actual Results:  
Extensions window is empty (no extensions listed, buttons are all there) on first try. They're back at the second attempt.

Expected Results:  
Extensions should be listed on first attempt!

My extensions:
AniDisable 1.0
Document Map 0.4
Flashblock 1.3.2
ScrapBook 0.17.0
Nightly Tester Tools 0.7.9.10
Mouse Gestures 1.0.4

WFM. From the six extensions you mention I have NTT and Anidisable, so one (or more) of the other four may be the culprit.
Or else a new profile will likely solve the problem.

Philipp, are there any messages in the JavaScript Console under the Tools menu? Items of interest would most likely have text containing richlist or extension.
