Extensions do not work as they should when enabled. They do not show up in their designated places (status bar, next to address bar, right-click menu). This applies to all extensions. I have disabled, re-enabled, and messed with the options. Nothing seems to work. Is there any way to fix this?

I have tried changing the settings in about:config, but that has no effect, either.

You can 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 extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
