Probably the best solution in this case. > Ubuntu 8.04 brought with it Firefox3, which is a welcomed Browser, but > lost all my "add-ons". I'm not sure this was meant to happen, granted it would be nice if firefox ported over all the add-ons, but i'm not sure they can yet. mainly firefox 3 is till beta. and because they made so many changes to firefox you need to get the latest version of the add-ons anyway. So sorry no easy solution you'll have to go download all those add-ons again. If you can't remember what you install i doubt the upgrade would of removed firefox 2 so you might find it hidden somewhere. > The most unfortunate incident was the new VirtualBox-1.6.0-OSE ( which > is not an Innotek property anymore and it belongs to SUN > Misrosystems).
