I haven't seen this happening yet. The thing is: the dropbox add-on doesn't require anything special from the ReadyNAS firmware. So the only thing that I can imagine preventing it from starting up properly after a firmware up- or downgrade is that the the /etc/default/services file gets overwritten or mangled somehow. Because this is the central point from which Frontview determines what services/add-ons to start (or not to start). If after an up- or downgrade the Dropbox entries in this file aren't there anymore, the service won't start. That said I already did some firmware updates on the ReadyNAS where my Dropbox is running and it continued to work just fine. So I'd be really interested in why it doesn't work for you. I will do some local testing but in case you find out more details in the meantime, it would be nice if you could share them.
