So the extension developers have to update their code to support it. Starting with Firefox 3.0, the releases will be like 3.0.x, with the Gecko version being 4 digits: 1.9.0.x, etc. That "infamous security bug" will be fixed in 3.0.1, alongside the quick release of 2.0.0.16, due out (almost?) together. In fact, it's already been fixed, since the builds that will most likely be 3.0.1 are already out for testing.

I'm still waiting for official explanation for this, and I was thinking that 3.0.1 will be released ASAP -- but not after almost 1 month after the bug was found.
