Every time I open Firefox I need to update all my extensions because Firefox won't recognize that they've all already been updated previously.

Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

This problem only occurs the first time I open Firefox after turning on the computer, but it occurs EVERY time I turn on the computer. Every time I turn on the computer and open Firefox, none of my add-ons are seen as updated or installed (although they are all updated and compatible). I need to "find and install updates" then restart Firefox. Once this has been done, I can open and close Firefox with no problems, but it only works fine until the next time I re-boot and I have to go through that all again.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Started when I upgraded from 3.0.(?) to 3.5.(?).. now on 3.6.6 and still happening

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry. See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

I am the original poster of this problem. Thanks for the suggestion, cor-el.

Unfortunately, I just tried this and still have the same problem. I tried it while Firefox was open, while it was closed, before updating the add-ons and after updating the add-ons. No luck.  :(

I guess nobody has any other suggestions except switch to chrome, LOL!?
