I have upgraded to 1.5 with absolutely no problems with my extensions.

I've heard Version 6 was somewhat buggy, and while 7.0 seems a lot more stable I've also had one or two problems with it, outside of Firefox.

Anyone else have video in-browser problems after upgrading from 1.07 to 1.5? Now I only get sound, no picture! I've reinstalled Real Player and even tried Real Alternative; no dice. IE works no problem.

I got video to play at espn.com, but I noticed that the controls (stop, FF, rew) didn't work. I haven't had time to debug or try anything else.

Here's an article in today's Wired News about FireFox extensions:

Some extensions don't yet work with the new version of Firefox, but most actively maintained add-ons have been updated, or will be shortly. If your favorite isn't there yet, you can always e-mail the developer. They love that.

name of password manager file?
I am expecting a new desktop. I'd like to copy the passwords and logins to the new setup. I don't know the name of the file. Does anyone have an idea how to do this. I don't think I even remember most of them.

There are also Extensions for Mozilla that will export your entire password history to a text file, but Mozbackup is by far the easiest solution.

Is anyone having problems with 1.5 on FlyerTalk? I'm having this weird thing happen where whenever I click on a thread or the MyFlyerTalk button it initially takes me to the link but then takes me to the general forums page. I then have to hit the back button and the 'Stop Loading' button after the thread initially loads so it doesn't forward me to the forums page. It's driving me nuts! Any ideas?

FYI in case anyone cares - I have the extension called 'RefControl'. I added www.flyertalk.com on it as being able to send referrer info (all others are blocked) and that solved the problem. I'm not sure why it would have done that, as I don't have problems with any other sites. But I'm glad to have it solved.
