I am going to guess that you tried to install enigmail via apt-get.  If you 
do, you won't be able to use the firefox extension manager as this package 
breaks it.

I ran into this a while back when I tried to update enigmail using the 
extension manager and broke things.  I filed a bug report and the upshot was 
to disable the extension manager rather than to make the enigmail deb package 
compatible.

To fix all of this, I removed the package and installed the enigmail xpi for 
my system.  Now I can update enigmail with the extension manager without 
breaking it.
