1. Enable extensions.logging.enabled in about:config.
2. Exit Firefox and delete extensions.cache from your Firefox profile folder.
3. Start a command prompt and "SET NO_EM_RESTART=1"
4. Start Firefox from this command prompt

The error console should now contain a log of where Firefox found extensions, see if your registry one is listed and if it lists any problems when looking at it.

If it isn't listed at all then it is likely that you have put the registry entry in the wrong place or in the wrong format.
