Not at all. Advertising Firefox compatibility only helps to get dumb
browser-sniffing webpages to load correctly. Extension compatibility is
an entirely different subject.
t'was afraid of that.. nightly tester tools works differently now...
allowed installation of jslib and tagzilla, but not quote colors

oh well... any pointers on addon/extension compatibility?

For extensions (XPI files), see my reply earlier today in this newsgroup
under the subject "Can't download to install SM2.0 extensions on a
clean/new installed SM2.1?" Note that this will not always work because
some XPI files resist editing.
I believe the compatibility of plugins (DLL files) rests primarily with
the version of your operating system and only slightly with the version
of your browser. I would be surprised if many plugins even check the
version of your browser. However, they often do check the brand (e.g.,
IE, Chome, Firefox, SeaMonkey).
The difference arises from the fact that Add-ons Manager -- a component
of Firefox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, etc -- handles the installation of
extensions while your operating system handles the installation of
plugins.
i'm working primarily in linux these days, as my laptop is resisting any
reclamation of its WinXP MCE partition...
again, pointers are very much appreciated...
