It is monumentally irritating to be asked to install a new version of FF, only to complete the installation and then be told that some add-ons are incompatible with the new version.

Had I known that my gmarks would not work with FF5, I would not have upgraded to it.

Please warn of add-on incompatibilities WHEN a new version is offered for install, not after the fact.

I realize you do not support the add-ons, but surely you understand that the add-ons greatly enhance the user experience with your browser...

Please do everything possible to allow gmarks to be compatible with all future versions of FF.

Thank you.

You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

Once it is installed, open Addons Manager and re-enable Gmarks addon.

Didn't do squat!!! I downloaded the Add-on-Compatibility whatever...no help.

When I click on GMarks in the toolbar now, I just get the 5 choices: Add/Edit Bookmarks / Organize Bookmarks / Options / Sign in / Refresh.

When I click "Sign In" everything is already ready for automatic sign in, yet nothing happens and the next time I click on GMarks on the toolbar, I get the same choices, but no bookmarks.
