Any? I'd guess all the plugin dev's at the moz website state clearly which vers of filrefox is supported - and most want their plugins to work with current release - 3.6.

Can someone be specific rather than hand waving API around please. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
