Why is Firefox forcing an upgrade and not including all of my add-ons?!

I keep getting your update page every time I log on and it seems as if I will soon have no choice but download your latest version. I did try ONCE and I got a warning about some of my current add-ons would be disabled and Firefox would let me know when I will be able to use them again. This is NOT satisfactory in the least! I have used Firefox for a long time and, for the most part, really like and use it is my default browser. If you force an upgrade without taking into consideration what I, and others, may have and want for the add-ons, I will be forced to quite using Firefox and go back to IE or star using Chrome. I DO NOT LIKE being tole that I have to do something especially when I am losing some advantages (add-nos) I like in the process. So you decided whether or not you want me, and from what I can gather on the NET, a lot of other users - Give some more thought to this forced move!

It is not a matter of not supporting the Extensions and Themes you have currently with Firefox 3.6.* but rather the versions of those Extensions and Themes not being compatible with 6.0

Chances are there has been one or more updates for those Extensions since hosted at addons.mozilla.org or its homepage source.
