Everytime I twink up Firefox to look and run with speed with all the tweaks
I like a new version appears to fix the ongoing spam and security issues.
Each time 90% of my extensions and most themes and toolbars stop working.
Anyone know of a workaround??

I haven't seen that happen with the last couple updates
(1.0.2=>1.0.3=>1.0.4); when was the last time you updated?

A quick 'n' dirty work-around I've used in the past is to unzip the .xpi
file, edit the install.rdf so that the maxversion matches the update
version, rezipping, and installing the hacked xpi. If it doesn't work, you
can always uninstall it and wait for a real update from the author.
