It updated me too...and lunched all 30 of my extensnions.
I hate that. Now I have to update and reinstall all of them. That's one thing that has always bugged me about FF updates. Very clunky.
On a nother note, I did figure out how to get supposedly "incompatible" extensions to install cleanly on updated FF versions; just change the max version number in the .rdf file for each extension that barks about being incompatible...then reinstall it.

Sounds like they need to have those plugins ignore minor versions..

I checked, but didn't see that mine had updated today. The update would have failed because I do not browse as root, but I thought I'd see the request.

Will check it out tonight.

Do you know if you can change the maxver prior to the upgrade? That's something I might try tonight while testing.

I know what you are saying.

It updated when the wife was on the computer. Instead of getting me, she went ahead and rebooted the machine. THEN, since Mozilla updated, the firewall asked to allow it through. She hit no and didn't tell me about this until this morning :)


grrrrr....

Strange behavior. Mine updated, then updated a couple of themes, then updated several extensions. The whole process including restart took under a minute.
