Great writeup on fixing the extensions, but I'd like to point out to all that this is not only an
alpha release, but it is a major version revision. The Mozilla folks don't guarantee any kind of backwards compatability on extensions. There is a good chance, the plugin will work just fine when you modify them in this way, but there is also a possibility that it will blow up your entire firefox installation in unpretty ways.
So, if you're going to muck with your plugins and this alpha release, be sure to back up your user data (bookmarks, certificates, etc.)

Good caveat that I should have included.
This workaround is just that. It fools the program to use the extension regardless of compatibilty.
I have never had one blow up my Firefox but then...I have never tried this on Firefox 2.0. Only Firefox 1.5.

C'mon...what's the worst that could happen?
