Firefox opens "new add-ons have been installed" dialog window at startup

I got the same effect just now in Jaunty, when new language packs landed. I always get "4 new addons were installed" at starting firefox.

I think the real cause for this is gnome-session just killing everything on logout, instead of properly closing applications (which is also why firefox always tells me that it was ended unexpectedly).

I guess this is not really necessary, but since I made it anyway, here is a screenshot.

<asac> pitti: there are extensions* files in your profile ... is the timestamp up to date?

Just killed/restarted firefox some 3 minutes ago.

The langpacks weren't really "new", but they got updated through language-pack-*. They are in extensions.ini already.

I see the same dialog every time I launch Firefox on my laptop running Karmic. Is there anything I can do to make it stop?

@Matt Lavin

Which version of Firefox are you running? Do you have ubufox installed?

I am running Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090902 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.3.

I do have ubufox installed.

This is a very old bug report and there have been several major releases since the issue was reported.

If this is still an issue for you please report a new bug on Ubuntu 12.04 or above.
