Firefox 3 Download Day launched this morning with the Mozilla community trying to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hrs. Were you a part of it?

If you'd like to show your Firefox colors, download this nice wallpaper created by motionblur to honor the release of Firefox 3.

I upgraded to Firefox 3 this evening on my main workstation. I read about the new features, then set about upgrading my extensions.

I would love to find a way to do a simple list export of all my extensions. I've found a couple of add-ons that will export the extensions, but all I want is a simple list that includes the extension name and version. Any tips?

These extensions upgraded automatically:

• ColorZilla 1.9
• Digg Firefox Extension 0.6.2
• Greasemonkey 0.8.20080609.0
• IE View 1.3.7
• Image Zoom 0.3.1
• Link Diagnosis 1.2.1
• Live HTTP Headers 0.14
• Mahalo Share 1.3.12
• OperaView 0.6.1
• PDF Download 1.0.1.2
• Pearl Crescent Page Saver Basic 1.7.1
• Popup ALT Attribute 1.3.2008052801
• Print/Print Preview 0.6
• RankChecker 1.3.2
• Screen grab! 0.95
• Search Button 0.5.2
• SearchStatus 1.25
• SEO For Firefox 2.7.1
• StumbleUpon 3.18
• Tamper Data 10.0.4
• TwitterFox 1.5.5.4
• Web Developer 1.1.6

I replaced these extensions with new versions or better extensions found at the Firefox Add-ons site:

• del.icio.us 1.2 => Delicious Bookmarks 2.0.58
• LoremIpsum Content Generator 0.4.3
• Smart Digg Button => Digg for Firefox 0.6.2
• Word Count 0.4 => Word Count Plus 1.2.1

This extension was upgraded by finding a hacked version at a user's website:

• FEBE 5.3.1

This one was manually upgraded by editing the version number in the file, "\Profile\extensions\pasteandgo2@holio.lin\install.rdf":

• Paste and Go 2 0.8

These are the extensions that I still need upgrades for to work with Firefox 3. The ones marked with an asterisk are those I consider "essentials":

• Bookmark Duplicate Detector 0.6.4
• Enhanced Bookmark Search 0.1.04.1
• * Copy Plain Text 0.3.3
• SEOpen 0.8
• * TinyURL Creator 1.0.4
• MetaTags 2.3.5.2

Firefox 3 is running smoothly thus far save for one issue that needs a fix: In previous versions of Firefox, I could type a search query into the search bar then hit Enter to run the search. In Firefox 3, hitting Enter doesn't initiate a search from the search bar. Instead, I have to use my mouse to click the magnifying glass icon in the search bar. I found the "searchbutton.enter_key" setting in about:config but I am unsure what the new value should be and if this is even the right setting to edit to re-enable the Enter-to-search functionality. I didn't turn anything helpful up browsing the mozillazine.org forums. Perhaps I'll just shut down for the night and find my problem gone at reboot tomorrow morning? Fingers crossed!

UPDATE: My problem with Enter-to-search didn't go away. My manual edit of the Paste and Go extension didn't work either. As a temporary measure, I've applied this hack to allow Firefox to use "incompatible" extensions. I just couldn't live without Paste and Go, Copy as Plain Text and TinyURL creator!

UPDATE 2: Enter-to-search is resolved! In about:config, change the value of searchbutton.compat_mode to true. Restart Firefox.
