TSGL: Firefox addons

[Trio800_BonBon]

Nope it wasn't the reboot.

I turn my computer off nightly so it rebooted at least 
5 times prior to correcting itself. Each day the 
install/uninstall after restart message was still there 
until it self corrected.

So I attribute the correction to a new Firefox feature 
called "Politician Modus Operandi".  You don't do 
anything except appropriate committees to look into the 
problem and hope that eventually everyone will forget 
about it or the problem goes away by itself.

Fits this resolution to a tee!!!!
