TSGL: Firefox annoyances--another one

[Trio800_BonBon]

Sometimes the "extensions" files become corrupt and 
new/updated addons won't install or uninstall despite 
several restarts.

To solve, delete the files "extensions.ini", 
"extensions.cache" and "extensions.rdf"
from your original profile folder, which Firefox will 
rebuild
