Well, I moved from 11.4 FF 26 to 13.1 FF31 and the only hiccup was the UI change 
that occurred somewhere around 26.  I had a little challenge in the move:

See 7/14/14 thread: [opensuse] Firefox 30, noscript control stuck on bookmarks 
toolbar?? - how to move?

Basically, I have a number of addons. Here is a list of my current:

I don't know how to dump a text listing :(

The trick to make everything work (after much frustration), was simply to 
uninstall the addons, then reinstall them. (don't ask me why) That solved all 
major problems I had with the 26->30 move. FF31 works functionally the same as 
24-26, the UI (their continual need to dork with things) was the only 
substantial change. But after uninstall/reinstall of all addons, I can't really 
tell the difference.
