Fedora Core 4 has the same issue. Extension updates are disabled in firefox. This is a major security issue IMHO. If a security issue is found in an extension and the developer updates the extension, The user will have no idea that the extension needs to be updated. I stopped using the RPMs of firefox that FC4 provides because of this reason and just download the tar of firefox from the main firefox website so that extension updates work.
