Is there a [plan to fix 4.0 so that all the previously useful add-ons and plugins will function? Delicious toolbar is disabled; Norton toolbar is disabled; several other add-ons that worked perfectly well in 3.6 do not now
the upgrade caused several tools that I use every session to be disabled as they were incompatible with 4.0
this was not an enhancement to me; rather it has caused me more aggravation than anything the old version did.

Those add-ons for Firefox need to be fixed.
Here's a simple trick to make the Delicious bookmarks Firefox add-on work after upgrading to Firefox 4.0.
This assumes that you previously had the Delicious bookmarks add-on working in Firefox 3.6.x and you have just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 – which disables the add-on and states that it is incompatible with Firefox 4.0
- Open Firefox
- Goto “Help” in the Menu, then “Troubleshooting Information”
- Click on the “Open Containing Folder” button (within the box “Application Basics” on top of the page)
- Close Firefox
- Goto into directory “extensions\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}”
- Edit install.rdf and change the following from the first line to the second line
em:maxVersion="4.0b3pre" />
em:maxVersion="4.0.*" />
- Restart Firefox

Norton says they will have an updated version of their Firefox extensions available in May.
