    Firefox Right-Click Menu+Addon Help

    I like coming to the wonderful people of BG first if I can't find the help I need through Google.

    Problem:
    My right-click menu is no longer displaying my AbBlock/NoScript/SaveImagineInFolder options. Also, my ABP "Stop Sign" is missing from my Toolbar. The menu only now consists of what would be present in a fresh install. I've tried reinstalling the addons and rebooting to no effect. I've tried everything short of a full reinstall of Firefox itself, which I'm hesitant to do, having to reconfigure everything. I should I should probably do it before coming here, but I feel the problem is deeper than that.

    Things that may be related:
    Spoiler: show
    I've recently did a SystemRestore to last Sunday because my brother accidentally altered the PC in a way where it would crash in certain situations and the restore fixed the problem.

    I uninstalled a mass of content, about 35gb worth, so I had to clean up the empty files and everything it put back. I manually deleted registry entries using an online guide. Upon discovering my problem with FF's right-click menu, I undid the registry changes and it didn't solve the problem.

    I've also disabled my 'Recently Viewed Documents" folder by creating a registry value.

    I'm using Firefox 3.5.8 and Windows XP.

    First thing I would do is check the profile manager to ensure Firefox didn't start a new one for some reason - http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles

    Also, info on the location of the profile directories - http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/...d_your_profile

    1.) Get tool from http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
    2.) Make back up
    3.) Get firefox 3.61
    4.) Uninstall 3.58
    5.) Install 3.61
    6.) Run back up program and restore your settings

    If your addons wont work you need to get the newer versions (Coral IE Tab Ect). Almost all of the currently developed addons are updated for 3.61 now.

    The only user profile is "default". In the extensions folder, I see all of my add-ons listed.

    Trying this now.

    EDIT: Did not work. Tried the reinstall with a back-up restore using the program. Did it again and installed one of my old add-ons without the back-up and it still won't work. Bleh.
