The same thing happened when version 2 came out. It's because there's a 
setting in the internal extensions configurations which gives a range of 
working versions. If you try to install the extension with a newer or 
older version, it won't let you. Really, you should be blaming the 
extension developers, not the Firefox team, for this problem, as they've 
had time to test and update their extensions for the new version.
