I'm not sure what caused it, either an update to MouseGestures or the Strata Human theme. Firefox now refused to uninstall or install addons. I get the message "{addon} will be uninstalled/installed when Firefox restarts" however, no matter how many times I restart Firefox, or Ubuntu, the window never goes away.

Try removing manually. This can be a bit dangerous. I suggest you to goto safe mode and then delete it in that mode

I just backed up my bookmarks and deleted the .mozilla folder in /home.
