What are you talking about? What other platforms never have issues with extensions? Firefox is working fine for me and it seems that people are complaining that "extensions" are not working, not the Firefox software. If you want 100% compatibility you can't be making much progress forward, since your software would end up like MS software. Every time you leave legacy hooks to "preserve compatibility" for those users/coders too lazy to keep up to date, you increase the chance of a flaw or exploit. You are right, the user is losing out, but you can't blame the FF developers for not keeping track of every random extension people are using.... it's the people who developed the extension who should have planned for a new update.
Can you name a browser that works with all out dated extensions?
