Re: ReInstall (almost) All Extensions in FireFox 1.0.6

I think you have to clean your install and then to reinstall all the 
extensions you want.

1: Backup your profile directory.
    (somewhere in Documents and settings/Application Data/Firefox/)
2. Exit FF
3. Delete all files end folder in the extensions folder (contains 
Extensions.rdf)
4. Optionally delete localstore.rdf and downloads.rdf from your profile 
folder (cleans user interface settings)
5. Goto the Firefox application folder (Programme/Firefox) and make a 
backup copy
6. To get a really clean install, delete the Firefox application folder
7. reinstall FF
8. reinstall all extensions

Note: Starting with FF 1.5 I found a reference that you could create a
multi-extension-package and then install at once:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Extension_Packaging#Multi-Item_Extension_XPIs

Not really what you asked for *sorry* ;-)
