A bit off topic perhaps, but:

I'd suggest always starting with a fresh profile when installing
a new version of FF. Export your bookmarks, make a note of any
passwords etc you may have, write down which extensions you
absolutely need...then download the new version, start it from
the command line with firefox.exe -p to force the profile manager,
and set up a new virgin profile.

What I did when FF1.0PR came out was to keep 0.9 still installed,
to use it in the interim period while extensions were being repackaged
and updated to work with 1.0PR. I simply had two shortcuts on my
desktop, and changed the actual target of the shortcut to load the
relevant executable plus selecting the right profile, e.g.

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 1.0PR\firefox.exe" -profile "C:\Browser 
Profiles\Firefox 1.0PR"

and

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 0.9\firefox.exe" -profile "C:\Browser 
Profiles\Firefox 0.9"

Now that 1.0PR has all the extensions I need, and seems to run fairly stable,
I deleted FF 0.9 and the related profile.

Saves a lot of hassle in the long run...IMHO anyway.
