Firefox is not checking for Add-on updates.

Whenever I click the "Check for updates" button in Firefox's add-ons manger...........it says updating addons but nothing happens. It get's stuck there and I do know that updates are available for certain addons and although I can manually install the addons I still want my addons to be up to date automatically.

You have quite some extensions, so it can take some time to check them all to see if there are updates available.

Did you try to wait a bit longer to see if the check finishes properly?
