How can I get my existing Firefox 3.0 add-ons to automatically update to be compatible with Firefox 3.5?

By Ravi Krishnamurthy - Jul. 10, 2009

Firefox 3.5 has been great but more than half my Firefox plug-ins are broken! Add-Ons like Alexa sparky and Google desktop search haven't been working since I installed v 3.5 about a week ago. At first I thought it was simply a matter of time before Alexa, Google and others updated them and today when I went to the Firefox add-on site - I found out that they already have versions that are compatible with 3.5!!

I've gone in and uninstalled the old versions and added the new versions but HAS to be an easier/automated way to do this! Is it something I'm missing??

    I had a similar problem. I simply reinstalled FF 3.5 and it went through the update process when I launched it and correctly updated my add-ons to the latest, compatible versions - although some of them (e.g. Google Desktop Search) didn't have an update that is compatible with FF 3.5
