Why does nothing appear when I select 'extensions' in the Add-on Manager?
Somehow, an extension/app called Coupon Saver (that I never wanted and which is truly annoying) has been installed. I uninstalled it on my laptop, but it needs to also be removed from FireFox. However, whenever I go to the 'Extensions' panel in the Add-on Manager, nothing comes up at all. It shows all the tabs on the right with 'Extensions' highlighted but beside it is nothing but a light blue screen. Why is this, and how do I fix it so I can removed the offending addition form my browser? Thank you for your time.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created when required.

If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.
