People, listen to the thread poster! If you are a power user of firefox, i.e. use more than 5 or 6 extensions, DO NOT upgrade to 2.0 yet!

I use 22 extensions, only 8 were automatically updated for 2.0 upon 2.0 ff installion, 4 more were found going to extension homepages and manually installing new extension builds, but I lost 10 extensions so far.

Do NOT install 2.0 over a 1.5.x installation yet.

The Mozilla forums are getting slammed. They have put up a special webpage, but I'm getting timeouts to both the specific forums and individual threads.

I'd phrase that differently. If you have any extension that you depend on, verify that it is available first, at the link posted above:

For example, I have a dozen extensions loaded, but there are just two that I find essential enough to delay an upgrade: PasswordMaker and Tax Mix Plus. I could not even log into FreeRepublic anymore without PasswordMaker.

According to information off the above link, PasswordMaker is working now, but Tax Mix Plus may take another week or such. So in my case, I'll wait for Tax Mix Plus, and then upgrade.

I've got about 11 extensions installed and all of them broke with the new version. I just forced them to be compatible using Nightly Tester Tools and am slowly getting the updated ones as I go along.
