User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Firefox/1.0.1 v Firefox 1.0

The Extensions for the Firefox Upgrade ( V.1.0.1 ) have not been upgraded from
version 1.0 compatability.
The Extension Program Writers Should have been notified before the New Version
was released so that they may have had the time necessary to Write Upgrade Code.
Almost all the Extensions are for Version .0.9 to 1.0..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug in v.1.0.1 into the Bar with the OS selection Bubbles Select v.1.0.1 and
Hit the Update Button
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
all the extensions defaulted to v.0.9/v.1.0.

Expected Results:  
Been Upgraded Prior to the New Version Release as addressed in DETAILS above.

no crash just a lack of anticipating the need for the Extension Upgrades.
1) There is no impact to extensions for this subversion release.  All 1.0
extensions should work for 1.0.1.
2) There was notification via the usual Mozilla blogs that 1.0.1 was going to be
released. 
3) The real impact will be for a release such as 1.1, but developers should be
aware that it is coming and testing is needed.  Extensions that work with 1.1
will need to be submitted for testing in advance.
