I read that Mozilla notified developers, and almost all my other add-ons (lots of them) were updated for Firefox 5 before the beta appeared, as Mozilla requested. At the moment Avast/WebRep is lagging, IMO. The non-beta of Firefox 5 is scheduled for June 21.
As for WOT, I don't like it (way too intrusive) but do use LinkExtend alongside WebRep.
Regarding hacking, my request was for the actual developers to make the update - not me.
Lots of them are updated. I don't care and neither should any Firefox user care about "lots of them".
The only thing that matters to me with regard to this are the ones that I use and the only thing in this regard that should matter to all users of Firefox are which ones they use.
As of late Friday none of these which I use are compatible with Firefox 5.0 Beta 1. I checked them one by one at the Firefox Addon website.

Total of 12 out of my 22 Extensions/Addons not compatible with Firefox 5.0 Beta 1 as of last Friday.
You must have better luck with LinkExtend than I do because my experience is that I have found it buggy and bloated. I have installed it and uninstalled it a number of times going back to Firefox 3.X and my conclusion is that it is just another junk toolbar.
