When I update from Mozilla, it checks compatability of installed third

you miss out on if you use rpm updates. In a worst case scenario I might
use an rpm update and find that my 3rd party extensions have stopped
working.
I'll ask again, is there a way to provide a smooth transition from the
default Fedora Firefox to a Mozilla self updating one? The reason I'm
asking is because I imagine a significant number of users might want to
do that.
Does Firefox show a dialog about extension compatibility and then
allows you to cancel the update if there are incompatibility?
After updating to FC5 (Firefox 1.0.7 to 1.5), Firefox put up a dialog
about the incompatible extensions and then did the extension update to
the new, working versions. Not to mention that 1.5.0.2 is
fully-compatible with extensions for 1.5.0.
