Before restoring your profile, please attach the install.rdf's of all extensions in your folder extensions and the file extensions.rdf to this bug, like described on the bottom of this page: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317193#c3

I highly suspect this is due to bug 324111... adding depends to keep track

Brandon, if you are still experiencing this could you please attach the extensions.rdf that is located in your profile directory
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile

*IMPORTANT* This file is located in your profile directory and not the same as the Extensions.rdf that is located in your profile's extensions directory if there is one in that location - note that the one in your profile directory is all lowercase and the one in the extensions directory is Extensions.rdf

Brandon, a couple of bugs have been fixed that may have fixed this bug... could you please try this with a latest nightly?
