I didn't do a thing to update (as I recall - I used the betas, also).
Bookmarks came over with no problem.  Some extensions were broken but are now
updated.  There's also a way to see if your extension will work by simply
editing a file in the installation .xpi package (really a ZIP file) to set the
maximum version number to a higher setting:

Download the xpi file rather than installing it.  Rename itto .zip and use
Winzip, etc. to extract the files.  Edit the file "install.rdf and search for
the string "<em:maxVersion>".  Change the version number to 1.6 and save.
Here's an example:

<em:maxVersion>1.0+</em:maxVersion>

becomes

<em:maxVersion>1.6</em:maxVersion>

Rezip the files and rename to .xpi.  Open the xpi with FF using File, Open
File and point to the xpi.  It will install and you can test it out.  There
may, indeed, be probelms with any particular extension and FF 1.5 but this
will help you decide whether the author simply hasn't updated the max version
number.  If it does work, I'd still recommend checking for updates to get any
official version as it becomes available...
