I think this may be a problem in terminology. I, too, am using FireFox 3.0 and I have no problem with my plug-ins, e.g. Real Player, Java, Flash Player, Acrobat Reader, etc.
However, there are a number of add-on extentions that haven't been upgraded to work with the latest versions of FireFox. For instance, TinyUrl Creator just upgraded a few weeks ago. But I had a currency converter that I can no longer use and Faster Firefox is still not available.
