we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes. It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

Unfortunately this link does not help. We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally. My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking? I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.
