If you’ve been holding off updating to Firefox 1.5 beta 1 because of problems with extensions not working, then you’ll be pleased to know that the situation is improving. The following is a list of the extensions I have installed and what works – I’ve highlighted where updates are available but they need to be downloaded manually:

• User Agent Switcher – download version 0.6.7
• Web Developer Toolbar – download version 0.9.4
• Greasemonkey – download version 0.6.2 beta (official release not compatible)
• Disable Targets for Downloads – compatible
• BugMeNot – download version 0.7
• LiveLines – download version 0.4.4
• Firesomething – not compatible
• Undoclosetab – download version 20050817
• mozcc – compatible

So out of the 9 extensions I have installed, 2 were already working, 4 needed updates and the other 3 still don’t work. And of those 3, Web Developer Toolbar is the only one that I really miss – I don’t use Greasemonkey that much and Firesomething is just a bit of fun. I’m sure that the rest will be updated soon.
Web Developer Toolbar has been updated to 0.9.4, which is 1.5-beta1-compatible, and there’s a beta of Greasemonkey available that works. That just leaves Firesomething.
Oh, and for Thunderbird 1.5 beta 1:

• Buttons! – compatible
• Webmail – compatible
• Hotmail – compatible

So, yay on that front
