FireFox developers really missed the boat on this one!

On OS X, Linux, and Windows, Firefox 6 broke all my plugins, then locked up
regularly and crashed on Fedora 15
They released two updates to 6 immediately for various issues.

The Firefox 6 updates just ran themselves, without asking respectably.
There was no way to essentially and easily ROLL back after the update when
all plugins broke.

The plugin issue is especially serious, as I used Mono for KeePass with a
Firefox plugin to automatically add my web logins to the database.
Broken developers plugins in OS X also completely hobbled many people.
