Your are using Firefox 6.0 and version 6.0.1 is a security update about a fraudulent certificate. It won't make your extensions incompatible.

If you want to keep the control on Firefox updates, check Ask me what I want to do in the Update tab of the Advanced Options panel. See Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab.
