Not necessarily all extensions -- but there have been Debian upgrades in unstable where the versions used to build firefox were inconsistent with some packaged extensions -- but that is my fault for living in "unstable". In the particular case I stumbled over it was glibc versions that was the issue I think. I don't know about themes. But if you made me guess, they mostly seem to be icons, and colouring instructions, so they'd probably work, or at least degrade gracefully, in such circumstances. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
