can't get addons manager to load

I just got a new computer and, as I was reinstalling a program (I can't remember which one), the Yahoo toolbar was installed. I was able to remove it, but only by searching for the toolbar, as my add-on manager won't load. Now the toolbar isn't showing up in my add-ons when I search for it, but none of my other addons show up unless I do a search.

Some of the addons I have -- these are all the most current update.

NoScript * Ghostery * Personas * Adblock Plus *Greasemonkey * NoSquint * SpeedDial (3 groups, 4x4 on each group) * ReadItLater

try to delete/rename the following files if present in your profile folder - they store information about your extensions & might have gotten corrupted: extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.sqlite & extensions.sqlite-journal (they will be regenerated the next time you launch firefox).

Tried that and it didn't work. I finally just said whatever and backed up what I could (again), uninstalled, and reinstalled. That seems to have taken care of the problem.
