I can't and wouldn't want to stay with an older version of a browser,
because I have to see how my TWs will look and behave in the most
recent versions - to know what my "audience" will see - however  feel
that TiddlyWiki features some special administrative options - like
upload of a customized document to ie. TiddlySpot, import of plugins
and a full upgrade to/from a  local document which are *so* important
that we should have an application just for these tasks:
I use portable FireFox for upgrading TWs and to upload documents to
TiddlySpot:
4.0.1 in Windows
http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%204.0.1/
and
4.0b9 for Linux - http://portablelinuxapps.org/download/Firefox%204.0b9

If *someone* has the skills to create a portable FireFox (maybe even
OS agnostic [1]* ) especially customized for TW - featuring a package
of bookmarks and bookmarklets - that would be GREAT...
Saq had a lot of usefull bookmarklets - which I haven't been able to
find since his site/blog dissapeared - Eric's instant bookmarklets
(especially the importplugin) are obvious candidates.
If a such portable application were to be designed - it would also be
a perfect oppertunity to bundle it with a TW-document set up to use
the TiddlySnips FF-extension out of the box... [2]

[2] My go at "freezing" TW and browserversion in time, was my TW-OS
project, which is a full/portable Linux-OS (ca 100mb) run from cd or
usb, bundled with some TW-documents and Firefox-extensions (especially
the TiddlySnip-plugin for Firefox):

I haven't had any problems (as long as I'm *just* working online) with
the most current versions of Chrome, Chromium and Firefox on Windows
and Linux - so far .
When the talk is about plugins and browser versions -
I guess it would be logical to stay with the note about a TWcore
version -
I don't know of any plugins other than:
UploadPlugin, UploadTiddlersPlugin and
the "upgrade-plugin" which are directly influenced by browserversions
in terms of compability?
