Does Firefox show a dialog about extension compatibility and then
allows you to cancel the update if there are incompatibility?

After updating to FC5 (Firefox 1.0.7 to 1.5), Firefox put up a dialog
about the incompatible extensions and then did the extension update to
the new, working versions.  Not to mention that 1.5.0.2 is
fully-compatible with extensions for 1.5.0.
