My situation was similar to yours - elected to update from 2.0x
(2.0.0.14) to 2.3.3 after continuing reminders but would not be able
to suggest update was flawless.  Clearly we are dealing with a
different format for Bookmarks now but in my update post-install I
note that of my add-ons - only 10 of 20 installed extensions were
"able" to work in 2.3.3 and thus I now have 10 add-ons - that are
disabled in this version.  Had the option to uninstall 2.3.3 to either
revert to 2.0x or then move to 2.1 or 2.2 where more of these worked
or "still-worked" - likely that route would have been taken by "me".

TWT but likely a "required" update just due to security flaws that
removes many of the "browser tools" users rely on is not going to be
"widely appreciated".

Rather than disable add-ons and then install and then check for add-on
updates, a screen of add-ons and then advice which if any are
supported by the new version prior to installation authorization is
provided by user would "ruffle less feathers".

My take....
