Earlier today, Alex told me that FireFox 1.0 was out, so I’ve happily gone and upgraded. He also reminded me that upgrading would probably break a lot of my installed extensions, since they’d be deemed no longer compatible. Often, the only update needed to an extension is a small change in the code indicating which version it’s compatible with, but users would still have to wait for the extension authors to make that little change.

Fortunately, Alex did a little research and found a very simple hack that fixes the version-compatibility issue and will get most extensions back up and running. He posted the directions for the hack on his site, and I can confirm that it worked like a charm.
