Firefox Upgrades Still Painful
I’ve been putting off upgrading to version 1.5 of Firefox on OSX for a while now because it’s always a bigger pain than it ought to be. Last week I was forced to for reasons that I won’t go into. Like past upgrades, l had to play games to get SpellBound (the spell checker plugin) to work and enable Emacs keybindings to work. At version 0.9, I could understand and put up with this, but I’m growing tired of it at version 1.5.

Don't know if you're referring to incompatible extensions or the fact that you have to download the entire app to upgrade, but the latter has been fixed with Firefox 1.5. It now checks for updates automatically and can patch itself.
