Where to find firefox help?

   I just upgraded firefox to -3.6.19 on my -13.1 server/workstation using
the downloaded package. When I invoke this application it displays a box of
installed add-ons and I need to manually close that window to use the
browser. Prior versions did not have this annoying behavior and I would like
to learn how to prevent this display window from appearing.

   Please suggest where I could go to ask for assistance in resolving this
issue. My prior experiences with mozilla web-based fora have not been
positive.

TIA,

Rich

This is not standard behaviour. Try to delete the firefox profile
directory in your local userdir, if this doesn't work you might have
to merge the new config file with the old in /etc.

I'm using v5.01 so I don't remember exactly , but it was either that you need 
to click on "search updates" once or go to the settings and search for sth 
like "update Addons on start".
Maybe there is an option in 'about:config'  also

Jens,

   I certainly missed that when I selected preferences. The "check for
add-ons when starting" box was selected while I thought I had de-selected
it.

   My apologies for not checking before writing.

Danke,

Rich

You are welcome, no problem.
I'm glad it worked
