 And how many plugins are packaged by fedora ? Any?

 I'd guess all the plugin dev's at the moz website state clearly which
vers of filrefox is supported - and most want their plugins to work with
current release - 3.6.

 So that seems like a bad reason not to update.

 So what are the couplings then that need source changes other than
plugins?

  Can someone be specific rather than hand waving API around please.
