User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

It appears that even with the max-version set to 1.4, extensions are being
disabled on initial startup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 1.0.6
2. Take a currently non-compatible extension and bump its max-version to 1.4
3. Install into 1.0.6 and upgrade to 1.5b1

Workaround: Reinstall 1.4 compatible version of the test extension 

Actual Results:  
Extension shows as incompatible during compatibility check and is disabled.
On upgrade the extension compatibility info is updated if it is available via
the updateURL or on AMO per bug 303718. I suspect this is what you are seeing.
Summary: 1.0.6 -> 1.5b1 upgrade disables 1.5b1 compatible extensions → 1.0.6 -> 1.5b1 upgrade disables 1.5b1 compatible extensions
That does indeed appear to be what's going on here. The extension I tested with
hasn't had the max-version bumped revision approved on UMO yet.
