Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

When installing extensions into Firefox Beta 1.5 certified for Beta says not
valid for 1.4.....and so cannot install any extensions and add-ins
Under Help-->About it says Beta 1.5 in graphic but 1.4.1 below - is this incorrect?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install latest Firefox 1.5 beta over 1.0.7
2.Go to add-ons & install add-on that is valid for latest Beta 1.5
3.Downloads and installs but get error message "XXXX could not be installed
because it is not compatible with Firefox 1.4.1 (XXX will only work with 0.9-1.4)


Actual Results:  
Before upgrade easily installed extensions

Expected Results:  
Installed w/o issue
