That seems to have sorted itself...  all the add-ons have gone.  I 
reinstalled a couple (Basics (in place of tab mix plus) and Sage Too) 
and they seem to work.  I can't change preferences. FF3 crashes in two 
different ways on different occasions, one: it will close the program 
just opening preferences; the other: it freezes as soon as I click on a 
tab on the dialogue.  It also freezes on some pages loading (I think 
those that have flash content) and just shows a busy cursor. I have no 
idea where to go next with this.
