Which add-ons do you have installed?. Are all them compatible with current Firefox version?. All up to date?

Maybe something got corrupted when you updated firefox and xulrunner?. What's the output of following commands?: $ package-cleanup --problems $ package-cleanup --orphans $ package-cleanup --leaves

I would like to avoid removing and installing again firefox and xulrunner, but maybe as last option it would work :-?
