yes, please keep your ugly hacks for your own. This doesnt help
anyone, and will cause issues for all those that dont know how to
properly do things.

@all, please dont follow this advice.

To fix such situations its usually enough to backup your $HOME/.mozilla
directory like:

 cp -r $HOME/.mozilla $HOME/.mozilla.backup1

then remove the extension cache files

 rm $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*/extensions.*

and start firefox
