Firefox 3.5.4 broke my addons - SOLVED, lock please.

I have several Firefox themes and addons that worked fine on 3.5.3, but it autoupdated to 3.5.4 today and not one addon or theme works any more. Adblock, greasemonkey, better gmail/greader, and a few others, all dead. This is on a Mac running Snow Leopard. On my PC, running XP, I updated to 3.5.4 and everything seems to be working fine.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any solutions?

    on a PC I'd look for updates: Tools->Add-ons->Find Updates

    i'm sure Firefox for mac has similar functionality

    You also could edit your about:config and add new values:
    extensions.checkCompatibility
    extensions.checkUpdateSecurity

    Both should be Boolean and set to false. FF will then load the out of date addons. This could lead to bad things if they really don't work, so try at your own risk.

    I checked for updates but nothing was updated. But I didn't have to do that on the PC, everything just worked.

    I also uninstalled 3.5.4 and went back to 3.5.3, but the addons still didn't work. So I went back to 3.5.4 and still nothing.
