Further up-date.  I have just read 'cnet news' and they say that Mozilla intends to release new versions every 6 weeks!!  The growing problem of add-ons not being compatible is being addressed but will not be resolved until Firefox10!!

There is an easy soloution to the add on problem is the issue is going to be fixed in version 10. Don't update to 7,8 or 9 and wait until ten.

I have now updated to version 7 (from 3.6) and surpringly there were only 3 that didn't work, two of which I found replacement for.

In view of this definitely staying with 6, and shan't be an early user of 10 either! Will let things settle.
