It's really unpleasant to have to do that individually for each extension. 
Also, there was *no* feedback when I tried it, so I have no idea if 
something was updated, there was no update, or something failed.

Was the original method removed upstream or in the Fedora package?  Any 
explanation why?  (Checked the Fx site, but couldn't find the updated 
release notes anywhere obvious.)  Can it be reenabled in about:config?

Thanks.
