It's not just you, and it's not just that extension. I don't know the |
| 17 |
cause, but many of my extensions stopped working, including Adblock |
| 18 |
Plus. (I noticed the problem because I was seeing ads, then I noticed |
| 19 |
there was no ABP icon available any more.) Judging from the fairly |
| 20 |
cryptic console output, Firefox's add-on registration system can't read |
| 21 |
(or maybe just can't modify) a lot of the files it needs to. |

I reinstalled 34.0.5-r1 from a tarball, and everything works again for |
| 28 |
me. I know that doesn't help you, but I mention it because it seems to |
| 29 |
indicate that running Fx 35 didn't actually damage my profile. |

I'll try upgrading again in a few days, then file a bug if still no |
| 32 |
joy. |
