I discovered today that the list of add-ons disappeared, but all add-ons are working normally. How can I access the list of extensions?

I'm running MacOS 10.6.8 and Firefox 5.0.1. When I open Tools->Add Ons, the list of extensions is empty. This happened after I restarted Firefox after having it running for a couple of days. Since then FlagFox reports a "missing IPDB", but I#m not sure if this is related.

Thanks a lot for your reply! Unfortunately the problem is that clicking on the extensions icon as you propose only brings up an empty add-on list, so there is no chance to uninstall FlagFox (it says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed", see also the attached image). As mentioned, all other add-ons are running well.

Is there any other way to access the add-on? I'm not afraid of the command line btw. ;-)

OK, there's a similar problem: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/850130. They propose to just install an add-on that you know is already installed.That did do the trick for me, but messed up all my add-on settings. Anyway, we're getting there...
