how can I fix error "Preferences hiddenEngines with value could not be set for [extension]."?

Hi all, I'm a proud happy user of Firefox (and Thunderbird at home, tho I have to use Outlook at work). I'm suddenly getting a really weird Firefox error at work.
I had installed the extension bookmarkshome (along with a bunch of others) and had that formatted version of my bookmarks as one of my home pages.
A couple days ago, when I typed
about:bookmarkshome
in the address bar, I started getting a page that's basically blank, doesn't have the right formatting and isn't displaying my bookmarks. I get an error box that says:
Preference hiddenEngines with value could not be set for about:bookmarkshome.
There are only two things that are different now from before this started happening. One is I installed Sage. The other is that when I did that, I saw a few of my other extensions had 'update now' buttons so I updated them.
Anyone have an idea how I can fix this other than uninstalling and reinstalling the browser and all the extensions?
p.s. I have had to maxversion bump a couple of the extensions. That wouldn't have any effect outside the specific extension I did that for, though, right?
Thanks in advance for your help!
