All I ever hear on forums is Adblock, Adblock, Adblock... then someone will suggest to use Adblock Plus. maybe people just get the names confused. Not all extensions are marked for all versions of 2, I've had things crap out on me on occasions. Again extensions can be a killer when using a beta of 3 or Minefield. I'd rather use the extension that mess about in about:. Nice to hear from you Wladimir.

As to "forcing" compatibility with an extension - this was really only an issue around Firefox 1.5. By now all extensions are marked compatible with Firefox 2.0.0.* meaning that they don't need an update on minor Firefox releases. And in Minefield you can set the pref extensions.checkCompatibility to false which will allow installing incompatible extensions (use carefully, often extensions aren't marked compatible for a reason).
