See if you can find a BugMeNot website. Extensions are not official parts of the browser (hence being extensions) so you probably won't find official support for any. You can try the MozillaZine forums as well for information. I wish I could help more but I haven't had a chance to upgrade from 0.8 yet due to various circumstances not related to Firefox.
As for the update, AFAIK you should update. Part of the reason the update thing you were trying to use isn't working is because there is a bug with it. It is a brand new feature as of this version. I don't think the bug is completely fixed even in 0.9. Keep in mind, anything under 1.0 is not a release TECHNICALLY intended for mass consumption. Doesn't mean it's not reasonable to use it by any means, but part of the reason it's not 1.0 is cause it's not as solid as they would like it to be and new features are still being added and dealt with.
