OK, but can't you simply disable the extension compatibility checking
in FF3? :)

As frequently discussed already, it was probably the only possible
decision, as  Mozilla will stop security support for FF2 during the life
time of 8.04 (LTS!)

Other known issues
Firefox 3
      * Ubuntu 8.04 includes Firefox 3.0 beta 5. This was felt to be the
        best option despite its pre-release status, in light of the
        extended support lifetime of Ubuntu 8.04 and the importance and
        complexity of Firefox security updates. Further release
        candidates and the final release may be considered for
        post-release updates.

So, the final FF3 /will/ make it into 8.04, once it is done.

Also, your bookmark thingy has a beta program in place, according to
their blog. You might want to try and get the beta version for FF3.
