Can we confirm that? If it is the case, is there something else we can do to automatically re-install the add-ons that were uninstalled from this bug for users with automatic updates? If not, can we push out a minor release with this fixed so that it happens anyway? Millions of users having their favorite add-ons disappear is not good for Firefox's public image.
