Many popular extensions (e.g. biobar, customizegoogle, download statusbar,
googlebar, web developer) are listed as compatible with Firefox 1.0-deerpark on
the https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions site, but when I try to install them,
the install fails with a message saying

"Biobar 1.3.2 could not be installed because it is not compatible with FireFox
1.4. (Biobar1.3.2 will only work with Firefox versions 0.8 to 1.0+)"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Search%20Tools&numpg=10&id=169
2. click "Install now"
3. after the extension downloads, click "install"

Actual Results:  
got dialog saying extension failed to load

Expected Results:  
extension should load, it says it is compatible with firefox deerpark

tried uninstalling all extensions, restarting firefox, even deleting everything
in the C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\cxt803ib.default\extensions folder and restarting.
 No help.

Only a limited number of extensions are available for 1.5beta1.
Give the extensionowners some time to upgrade them
