TSGL: Firefox addons

[Trio800_BonBon]

Well this has me stumped.

I didn't do anything to my settings (or stop any 
security programs) but today all of the marked addons 
(either install or uninstall)  ended up being processed 
when I started firefox.

Everything works as expected and no lockups.

Have no idea why.

Just another mystery of computers!!!!!
