Many, many programs, files, and their locations have changed to support the new user=name option and the new window manager support.
Most noteably .filetool.lst and .xfiletool.lst are now under /opt.

Files that have changed since v4.1RC1 that are likely in your backup.

.xinitrc
.jwm.inc
.fluxbox.inc
.fluxbox/backgrounds
.dfminfo
opt/.filetool.lst

Note: .fluxbox/background was a directory is now a link to /opt/.backgrounds/ the common backgrounds/wallpaper collection that is window manager netrual.

This is the last of the major structrual changes to 4.x.
I plan to release v4.1 soon.

I just posted RC2 it will take some time to get to all the mirrors.

Your issue is one of properly building UCI extensions.
Your firefox uci extension has no embedded user.tar.gz.
The user.tar.gz should contain a fluxbox standard menu item and both a xtdesk icon for v3 and an xpm icon for v4 support.

If you have questions on how to build an extension, please post in the proper section. It is not an RC issue. I would suggest to start by loading other existing UCI extensions and look at the user.tar.gz in their /opt/xxxx directory. This is the part that you are missing.

The problem is that your firefox app needs to run in the same directory as its supporting files. Create a symbolic link, and then you can drag it to the desktop and it works fine.

Thus: "ln -s /opt/ firefox-2.0-gtk1/firefox ."
