When loading GranParadiso for the first time, it failed its auto extension update due to "java script options". 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox 2.0.1
2.Enable several extensions incompatible with GranParradiso.  
3.Quit Firefox and run GranParadiso
4. wait for the auto update to notify what extensions are incompatible
5. Click the check for new or updated extensions buton
Actual Results:  
When repeating the steps the GranParadiso update window will alert that "some problems were encountered when trying to find updates". Clicking the details button next to the message brings up a dialog box which states only "JavaScript Options" on its own line.

Expected Results:  
The software should have been able to complete the update process without running into problems.

This bug has not been seen to effect the program in any way. It happens before any Themes or extensions have been loaded.

This is a bug with the JavaScript Options extension, not Firefox. The author is aware of the problem and hopes to fix it soon.
