I updated Firefox and the extensions and keep getting "restart firefox for changes to take effect." Even after restarting, none of the add-ons actually update and do not appear, for instance, noscript. Please help!

There are a bunch of add-ons that recently were updated, including noscript, adblock, etc. These add-ons were updated successfully and say in the add-on window they will be installed the next time Firefox restarts. There's also a bar that says "restart firefox now" and even when clicking restart firefox, none of the updates seem to load. I had to manually download the noscript the last time to get it to work but alas with the latest update, again, same problems. i tried disabling other plugins with no impact either. Anyone else having a similar problem and does anyone know how to get this resolved?

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.

See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.
