Suggestion for future major releases of SeaMonkey, such as the upgrade from 
2.0.14 to 2.1.

I tried this upgrade a few days ago but wound up reverting back to 2.0.14 
(note that despite using system restore to do this, I still had to manually 
reestablish some of my original settings, such as theme and home page). The 
reason I went back to 2.0.14 was because there just weren't enough installed 
extensions yet that were upgradable to 2.1.

While I don't know the technical problems involved, I think it would be a 
lot more user-friendly to search out the existing installation before a new 
version is installed and present to the user the same list of existing 
installed extensions that are currently incompatible, and also predetermine 
whether upgrades for them exist. This would be followed by a box to proceed 
or cancel.

This would allow the user to make a decision to install or not install, 
rather than have to install and revert (or regret).
