Good news for sure, but the Mozilla Foundation has let the plugin updates vs supported plugins issue get away. Firebug, YSlow, Web Developer and others don't work with the new version? OK fine but tell me first. I reluctantly upgraded from FF 3.6 as FF has been my go-to development browser for years, but plugins I need to get work done kept breaking or were not installable to the FF version that FF thought I should have.

The Add-on Compatibility Reporter, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compat... , should help you install incompatible add-ons. Not sure if that helps you at all.

Are you running a beta version? Firebug, YSlow, and Web Developer are all compatible with the latest release version (Firefox 6): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yslow/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yslow/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/ If you installed them from addons.mozilla.org then you should get compatibility updates automatically and silently. If you installed them from elsewhere, you may need to check for updates manually (or switch to the a.m.o versions). In general, all add-ons hosted at a.m.o are updated to support new versions automatically: http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/ http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibili... We do still have a lot of work to do to improve add-on compatibility for non-AMO-hosted extensions. The next planned step is to bundle something like Addon Compatibility Reported into Firefox itself.

I finally upgraded last weekend myself. I can definitely feel the speed over 3.6 Newest firebug and web developer definitely works with it. The Status-4-Evar extension was a lifesaver though and I am still doing dozens of little tweaks. This extension will allow all "incompatible" extensions to be activated and tested https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compat... and I found this one a must to return to dialogs instead of tabs for all the management http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2063057 http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=20630...
