Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
I had assumed LP greasemonkey scripts were broken for the past couple of
weeks because of LP UI changes, but when I started looking into it I
found that I couldn't load the new version of the LP greasemonkey
scripts at all. Greasemonkey showed up under Tools->Add-
Ons->Extensions, but enable/disable had no effect and I couldn't edit
preferences, nor was it showing up under the menu.
Tearing apart my .mozilla directory, I found that removing the
extensions.rdf file from my profile was enough to reset everything and
get it working. Will attach this .rdf file in follow-up.
Adding new extensions to the system also resulted in them failing to
appear in Tools->Add-Ons->Extensions.
I think this is a firefox bug for not correctly managing the upgrade of
extensions.rdf.
