Thank you for the reply Claudio, and for the helpful information.
At least I know that it isn't just me that is in this boat....small consolation indeed. :|

I have my plugin paths set to provide the older version for Opera, and the newer for Iceweasel. I await the final release of 9.50. :)

Best regards.
