Be wary - my boss is quite upset that this latest version seems to have broken a number of his plugins.

Yeah, this has to do with them phasing out the old extensions. They are trying to shift over to web extensions completely. It's not quite done yet though.

i installed the new version (while retaining the old version 60.8) on my mac, but none of the accounts / settings / etc. have been transferred over. Trying to figure out how to export and import into new version but have not found out how so far

It probably picked the wrong profile. Start with -P switch and pick your default profile. All better?

I upgraded from 60.8 to 68 on Windows and it works fine thus far.
