Please check the following, Type about:config into the address bar and then in the page that appears type "version". Look down the list that should appear for app.extensions.version. If this is there right click it and choose "reset" then restart firefox.

That's fixed it. Any idea how that value got set wrong? It used to contain "0.10". Presumably it was set by a really old version, so new users would never get this, just us early-adopters.

It is not anything that firefox itself would have ever set. Either you set it manually (it is used to make firefox install extensions that appear to be for older versions), or its possible that an extension set it, though I've never heard of one that does that. Resolving invalid,
