If I update, I'm going to have to manually edit the few extensions I actually run Firefox for to increase their "max supported version" string to 5.x. That's one downside I can see with this new release system.

Not necessarily. Install this extension and you'll be able to use any unsupported extensions: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compat... It'll also let you report their compatibility back to Mozilla and the extension developers so they know if the extension needs updating.

  Awesome, thanks for the link. Didn't realize there was an extension to let you run extensions. :)

Most add-ons hosted by Mozilla have already been automatically updated for 5.0 compatibility: http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/ http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibili...

  Cool. Glad they thought about that situation before switching to this new release/versioning system.
