Hey
after updating to 3.01 from a 2.xx some addons are disabled and their items are completely grayed out in the add-ons menu.
How can I install these and be rid of them? the uninstall buttons are grayed out along with everything else.
thanks

What's the addon name?
If the uninstall button and menu item are disabled, the add-on is locked. To uninstall a locked add-on, you'll first have to unlock it via Safe Mode.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
One of them actually seems to have disappeared..????
The other is RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 1.0 Is there a FF 3 update for this do you know? I cant even remember what it does!!
+ how do I "unlock" in safe mode? I can run safe mode OK but the add-on shows up just as before with no indication of how to unlock it...
The link you provided doesn't seem to tell me anymore than your message does on this point (thanks for that bit though!)
In your question you asked about Addons, not Plugins,
They are not the same.
See here for information on uninstalling Plugins:

AddOns = Themes + Extensions + Plugins in the Firefox 3 interface.
We should ask folks to clarify if they say AddOns.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Are you saying then that my original instruction should have worked and that my follow up is incorrect?
Personally I don't like way Mozilla flips in naming things,
"Extentions, and Addons and plugins, Oh My!"
and I don't even want to talk about themes
