Installed Safari Extensions disappear after restarting Safari

safarisafari-extensions

I have a problem with my Safari. I can not install any extensions. Whenever I install one they work fine, but the next time I open Safari, the extension is not there. So I have to reinstall them at every launch.

I have tried to clear my Safari stuff, like plists and Library folders. Im using Safari 8.0.1.
