Why does my newly updated add-ons page always open when I start my browser up? Firefox 4.0.1 on a Win XP SP3 platform.

When I update my add-ons, IE Tab 2 v. 2.12.21.1 and NoSquint v. 2.1, to the newest available versions, Firefox shows, in an extra tab, the homepage of the add-on. I am used to this happening once after an update, but now it happens every time I start Firefox up. The tabs can easily be closed. If starting a new instance of Firefox the problem does not appear. Reinstalling the old versions of the add-ons also removes the problem.
