This is, unfortunately, a common issue.

The following are commands which need to be entered either in a DOS
prompt or a terminal. On Windows, you can generally access this with
"Start > Run > Cmd" or "Start > Run > command" or "Windows + R >
command". (If someone can verify the steps for WinXP, it'd help; I
don't have that OS.) On OS X, you can get there with Terminal
(Applications > Terminal). On Linux, you should know how to find a
terminal. ;)

Once at a command prompt (C:\ in Windows, ~/user in OS X), enter the
following commands, which just creates a gm_scripts directory and an
empty file named config.xml in the appropriate place in your Firefox
profile.

   1. cd your profile directory
   2. mkdir gm_scripts
   3. On OS X: touch gm_scripts/config.xml
   4. On Windows: echo "" > gm_scripts\config.xml

You can find your profile directory by following the directions here:
