Firefox Post Update Problems

For some reason the update to Firefox 3.0.4 caused a ton of problems in my system, the first and foremost being that the moment I installed Firefox update 3.0.4 every one of my add-ons was malfunctioning.  I would open my tools -> add-ons screen and when I tried to click options for any add-on, it would crash and lock up my firefox process.

I would get a popup error that said the following, when trying to update, install or modify any of my add-ons.

Firefox could not install the file at <blah blah>

Error Code
-203

Unexpected Installation Error

This led me to look at my error log which was completely loaded with error messages and garbage about js files, scripts, null file paths…etc.

I am going to try uninstalling cleaning up my registry and re-installing FireFox, but this really bugs me and I hope I can get it repaired. I am using Firefox only for a few specific add-ons now, Google Chrome is my default browser, but I still need Firefox for a few toolbars and Dashblog plug-in.

PS. My Google Chrome hardly loses cookies anymore, I don’t know if there was an update but the browser has been much more stable lately for me.
