This isn't a pre-release / release issue.  Extensions will lag the
formal release by months. This is a long-standing problem for our
upstream there.

Mozilla has been doing some aggressive work trying to get extensions
updated ahead of the release which is why any work now at all.  The
ones who have not yet updated for 3.5 will very likely still not be
upgraded by the time of the formal release.

And, yes… The RC is pending:
