But extensions are still version dependent.

I was just about to update my installation, but it told me that my Roboform extension isn't compatible with v7.

If they allow the application to update when it wants, they're going to quickly render me unable to use Firefox, since I won't be able to log into secure web sites.

How do you get to that information prior to the upgrade?

I've only realized extensions were incompatible after updating, because Firefox disables them.

Did you receive the update automatically, or did you download and install it manually? If you are using automatic updates, Firefox should ask before updating if any of your add-ons will be disabled.

My experience is that if I click "Check for updates" and an update happens to be available, then there's no way to prevent that update from being installed, even if it causes add-ons to be disabled.

By the way, Roboform has been updated to support Firefox 7: http://www.roboform.com/support/news
