Following the EU investigation into Internet Explorer's inclusion in Windows, Microsoft made it possible to "turn off" Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7, by removing the executable and every mention of the browser from the system. According to Opera and Google, this is nice, but not enough.

So you'd sooner have a browser constantly crashing because of extension incompatibilities than Firefox taking the conservative approach
I have used Opera since the 7.x series and I have had very seldom problems of Opera crashing. It actually happened with the 8.x series but the problem was a flawky memory that I changed. Since then, Opera has always been stable with no exception on my computer.
But hey, yelling, screaming and spitting at me
Calm down. I'm not "spitting" at you.
...is alot easier than coming up with a logical reason as to why the extensions were disabled.
I know why all these extensions are disabled. It's because they haven't been tested yet in newer versions of Firefox.
I guess venting on a forum rather than constructive discussion based on facts rather than hyperbole isn't your forte I guess.
It is. Proof is the facts that I exposed to you:
1) The list of feature requests not addressed in Firefox's Bugzilla
2) The broken extensions
Facts.

Regarding Opera, again, you failed to address the issues raised. I will run it when it addresses the short comings which inhibit me from moving. I am NOT talking in general but MY case. Stop trying to extrapolate from what I say applies to EVERYONE, it only applies to ME because I can only talk about MY OWN circumstances and not anyone elses. When I talk in GENERAL I don't give specifics I simply use examples of MY EXPERIENCES are probable reasons.
