Click on Extensions, Appearance or Plugins in the left column of the Add-ons Manager display.

• The problem is that the Add-ons Manager display, when opened the first time, is on "Get Add-ons" and that must be downloaded from the Add-ons server which is currently overburdened due to users, and the update process for Firefox 6, checking for updates.

If you need to look for new Add-ons, go directly to the Add-ons site and use the search box on that page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

This is caused by a little bug (programming error) in the Addon-manager. See bug 679604 for info.

That item for bug 679604 states:

1. the work-around that I suggested is the only method currently to stop the problem
2. that it only happens one time, the first time that the Add-ons Manager is loaded
3. that it is a minor issue and it is unlikely to result in a Firefox 6 update, at this time
4. that the issue will occur when upgrading or downgrading (ver 4 or 5 to ver 6 and vice-versa)
5. there is some discussion about adding it to the Release Notes, which, unfortunately, most users do not read
6. updating to a version after Firefox 6, the problem will not occur

Solved it ! Thank you.
