I migrated from FF 3.6 to 4.  I have 100+ extensions.  I lost
precisely two where FF changed things under the hood the the extension
used.  One was no longer developed/supported in any case, and I found
another that offered the same functionality that worked.  The others
author planned a fix but was waiting for the dust to settle and an
actual FF4 release to occur so he wasn't shooting at a moving target.

Everything else worked, and has continued to work in FF 5, 6, 7 beta,
Aurora, and Nightly.  All I had to do was turn off addon compatibility
checking, which I did by installing Addons Compatibility Reporter.

Do yourself a favor, do likewise, and upgrade.
