I hate Explorer whether 6 or 7. Explorer 7 really pisses me off with the installation a lot of junk proprietary applications. Firefox beats Explorer hands down with it's plugins. Even Google can't match it.

I can’t remember which ones didn’t work me, but my problem was particularly with one plugin, Google Bookmarks Sync. I have my bookmarks sync’d across my laptop, desktop, and my wife’s laptop. Due to the dramatic changes in the bookmark system pretty much every bookmark extension is broken.

To be honest, I can’t remember which ones were beta and which ones weren’t. But like you mentioned, Paul, “approachable and maintainable” doesn’t include micromanaging extensions constantly.

I’m going to give FF3 a try when it officially comes out (like I did with FF2). But depending on which extensions work / don’t work, I might go back to FF2 until FF3 is ready for prime time.

None of the extension I use are “betas”. They are the ones that were not disabled. As the betas progressed, some of these extension were broken, and later updated them selves. Several of the themes went through some fast update cycles (over the course of 2 or 3 days); but I expect that,

After all, if you see a bug “crawling” out of your code; get a flyswatter.
