This is not a bug. Firefox 3 was chossen becuase firefox 2 i almost EOS within the next few months and we cant support firefox-2 after that so we took the best of both evils and included firefox 3 in hardy because it cant be LTS if we cant support the preinstalled browser. As for you issue try looking in the repos for the extensions you want to install we added a bunch of the, if they are not there look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Firefox3Extensions to see why its not in repos yet. Please file a bug report with only 1 problem. Firefox 3.0 will be upgraded as upstream pushes new versions so it will be stable very soon as long as the blockers are done. last i hear it was about 1 1/2 months from Hardy date of release. we left firefox-2 in repos if you dont like the idea of using firefox-3 install firefox-2 but should be installed unles syou moved it.
