Blame Mozilla For Your Add-ons Not Working Day

Then again, I can’t make an apples-to-apples comparison, because none of my browser add-ons (namely, programs I downloaded to enhance Firefox) are working yet. The fact that many of my biggest loading programs occurred on pages that used Google Gears (which gives me offline access to applications like Gmail and Google Docs) probably contributes to the new feeling that my browsing is going really smoothly. Which is nice, except the availability of add-ons, particularly Gears, was one of the main reasons I switched to Firefox.

via Firefox 3.5 takes you back to a time before browser add-ons – VentureBeat.

Is this the biggest complaint they could come up with? Firefox 3.5 destroys add-ons! No lazy developers destroy add-ons.

Almost all add-ons work fine and just need a version bump to make them compatible. Developers have known about this for months, and were alerted to it by Mozilla and if they didn’t take the time to do new versions then they are the ones you gotta complain to.
