I understand that FF1.1 will handle extensions differently than FF1.0; how difficult will it be to port those over? Will end users be able to (in most cases) use extensions written for FF1.0 in FF1.1?

I'm not a developer or anything, but I have heard that extentions are still working. I don't know if it's true for all of them though.

Bookmarks synchroniser isn't working, and the website doesn't respond anymore. Maybe the end for this extension ? Very sad, because it was using a rather modern export format than archaic bookmarks.html, painful to parse...

Working here : Webdev Toolbar, GMail Notifier, Flashblock and Colorzilla.

I think that Deer Park Alpha1 was okay, but Mozilla has to work on features that will make more Internet Explorer users switch over. Read my blog about Firefox here.
