I just tried to install it and it did not install. Do you have the extensions.checkCompatibility pref set?

The add-on is announcing for which Firefox versions it can be installed to - since it dates from June, I doubt that it is compatible with 3.6 b1 or b2 (they were not released at that time). Selenium needs to change their add-on.

See <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility> for a hint to override this compatibility until this is done.
