The first section of this article states that you can configure Firefox and Thunderbird to update your extensions and themes automatically. as part of the Software Update feature. However, the Software Update article says that the mechanism does not update extensions and themes for Fx and Tb 1.5. Which is correct? And if extensions and themes have their own update managers in 1.5, how does the user interact with them? Is there an option for automatic extension update, or do you have to use the the Extension Manager's Update button? --Mozcerize 04:01, 27 November 2005 (PST)

Is there some reason the Mr Tech local install extension is omitted from the list of ways to bypass version checks? It seems pretty popular. The link for the Nightly Tester Tools extension points you to a sandbox, which most users can't access. The Thunderbird version of nightly tester tools lite doesn't work with 2.0, though the full version of nightly tester tools at the authors web site does. I thought I'd ask before editing anything.
