Firefox 2.0 Breaks Many Extensions and Lacks an Email Icon
I just installed and checked out Firefox 2.0 and had to uninstall it almost immediately. It is missing the Email Client launch icon and disabled most of my important Extensions, which I depend on for my work. These included such Extensions as SpoofStick, Adsense Preview, Lorem Ipsum Generator, McAfee Site Advisor, Google Statusbar PageRank indicator, and my HTML Validator, DNSStuff Toolbar, and ForecastFox Accuweather forecasts. In all it disabled 6 Extensions and updated only one. I will wait a while to upgrade to version 2.0 for a while, to let the Extension authors make their plugins compatible with this version.
Going back to version 1.5.0.7 was as simple as running the setup file for that version. It overwrote the new files with the previous versions, and when Firefox opened it was exactly as I had it before performing the upgrade.
If you are using a lot of Extensions and depend on them you may want to hold off on updating to version 2.x until the Extension authors catch up to it, and Mozilla adds back the Email launching icon (if you used it). Keep the setup file for 1.5.0.7 on hand until the dust settles.
If I didn't use so many Extensions and depend on them I would have taken a longer look at version 2.0, but I didn't want to corrupt my saved personal settings with all the disabled and missing items.
