Hi, everyone, I am curious about the upgrade to firefox 2.0. Will I have to do something to port over all the plugins, or will the new firefox work with things as they are? Just don't want to mess myself up any more than required.

From the upgrade that I have done, it will auto-detect the plugins and
themes that you have installed and if it finds the compatible version for 2.0 it will ask you to install them. I had to go through about 4 or 5 restarts before everything was upgraded when I first did it but I figured that was fine since all I had to do was click install then continue to actually get to browsing. The restarts were also gradual, they didn't ask that you to restart before browsing to get the next set of updates.
It shouldn't be a problem doing the upgrade.

Thanks, Lovell, It never hurts to find out before doing an install of new stuff. I really do appreciate your response. Regards, Les H

For me it auto-detected everything, including extensions. One extension was incompatable, however (I don't remember which) so Fx didn't enable it. Note that I don't use themes, though. My bookmarks, history, and even cookies all made it through the upgrade.
