Glad it is working better than it used to. I always download the whole package, to make it easy to update all my local PCs remotely. This also allows me to keep the old version in place so I can roll back if I ever want or need to for something. I'm a little paranoid sometimes :-)

I'm a little paranoid sometimes Yeah, me too. I've gotten burned a couple of times on major release upgrades...mainly with extensions and themes, so I made a little backup and restore script that I run after each browsing session.
Though, I will say that I've discovered the reason for the problem with extensions and themes not installing on major releases...the minimum version parameter in the .rdf file for an extension.
Change that to reflect the new version number and it will install easily. Possible compatibility issues notwithstanding. =;^)
