Try resetting the Extension Manager.
With Firefox closed, rename the following files in your profile folder:
extensions.cache
extensions.ini
extensions.rdf
and
compatibility.ini
They'll be re-created when you open Firefox.

Note : Although unwanted files/folders can be deleted, renaming them is generally considered a safer option. This achieves the same result, but allows the user to retrieve any possibly required information from them later on. In the case above, rename the above 4 files as , 'extensionsOLD.ini', 'extensionsOLD.cache', 'extensionsOLD.rdf, 'compatibilityOLD.ini'

Making sure Firefox closed:
