Hi,

please help me to solve following problem.

Some addons (ad-block plus, fastest search, session manager) are not working after starting firefox. In order to make them work I must disable and then re-enable every each of them.

I have to do this everytime i start firefox.

I tried to reinstall these addons, to delete some files from profile folder etc. ending up with complete reinstallation of firefox and the problem is still there. It popped out nowhere, just a few days ago everything was ok...

Please help me as this issue really affects my efficiency and work with firefox in general.

Thanks in advance!

I think the problem has been solved!

It was caused by Websearch search engine virus that was recently somehow installed on my computer. AVG found adware in folder Websearch in Program files and after I removed it by AVG, all addons I have problem with started working again.

Websearch caused problems also by google chrome and ie, so I removed it from these browsers as well. (extension removal, search engine removal, homepage reset etc)

Hope this would be helpful to someone! :)
