After installing the most recent Firefox update, none of my addons work.

Furthermore, when I click "options" on an add on, the add on window freezes. I have to use the task manager to close it.

No add ons work, I've tried safe mode resets, I've tried 1 add on at a time, I've tried re-installing Firefox, etc...

Could this be related to Panda Cloud Anti Virus?

Try resetting the Extension Manager. With Firefox closed, delete the following files in your Profile folder':
extensions.cache
extensions.ini
extensions.rdf
and
compatibility.ini
They'll be re-created when you open Firefox.

Making sure Firefox closed:

You may need to show hidden files to locate your profile (W2K & WinXP):
