In addition to all my addons not working at all, I also cannot install them or any other addons. It gives me a weird error all the time. WTF is going on? Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes,... that happens sometimes... does it give you a weird Java error when you try to install the add-ons?

Sometimes the function of an addon will be incorporated in the new release. (Just a thought)

don't worry... it happened to me once... i can't remember how I fixed it... but I did.

Do have Firefox installed and configured on another computer, or a backup of your profile anywhere?

Nope, only have it on this one PC. It gives me an installation error 203.

Ok I got it working by deleting my profile in the Application Data directory (C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox).
Then I basically just installed the extensions again. I also copied the bookmarks.html file in the Profiles folder of my previous profile, and copied it to the new one so that I still have all my bookmarks. It's working fine now. Thanks to all who helped, especially Garyvdh.

Yay!!! ;)

Now that you know where your profile is.... you can make a complete backup of that entire profile folder in case you ever need to do another fix. You can copy profile folders from Computer to Computer and it will copy everything all your bookmarks, extenstions, passwords, etc. As long as you are copying it to the same version of Firefox. :)
