using firefox 9.0.1 on OSX 10.7.2 several add ons say they will update after restarting but never do. they are disabled and i cannot get them back. zotero 3.0 will not install. old zotero now disabled and I can't get it back either. something is corrupted somewhere. what?

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.

Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.
