By gone away, you mean their compatibility fell away during earlier releases, so by the time you get to 10, with nothing supported there is no pain in upgrading?
Or do you mean I can take my 3.6 profile and upgrade it to 10 and I shouldn't expect any compatibility problems? I have been using Firefox since year dot. Right now I am running the latest 10.0 installed via Yast and of the 12 extensions I have, not to mention my preferred theme called Nautipolis, all are working

In another list one person was moaning, akin to yourself, that suddenly he cannot use a particular add-on now that he switched over to FF 10.0. Oh woe is him, and the gnashing of teeth! He has tried everything to get this extension working but, alas and alack, he is unable to get it work! Does anyone have a suggestion, he asked, as to how to get it working? I told him YES - just wait for the author of the extension to update it to work with 10.0 because he has already been asked to do.
The add-ons, you must know, are written by third-parties, just like a lot of the stuff you install and use in openSUSE, and therefore they rely on their authors to keep them up-to-date with the current release of, say, Firefox or Thunderbird.
Why is it that you consider MozillaFirefox/Thunderbird in this light and *not* openSUSE :^)
For starters, the topic under discussion is the add-ons for FF and TB and not openSUSE 8-) . Secondly, within hours of being notified that his/her extension in incompatible with FF the author of the 'offending' add-on amended it and this morning, the person who was complaining about it, wrote that he was able to have it updated when he fired up FF a short time ago. Can openSUSE match this? O:-) . Finally, have a read of this: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-57371548-2/firefox-11-to-get-add-on-sync...
