Please contact YoYo games. They probably have one of too things going on. UA sniffing is not allowing you to use the beta, or they simply have not updated their extension to work in 3.6.

This is a valid bug! Firefox 3.6 was released. Their instantplay plugin is based off a .dll file, and set as an extension, not a plugin. It worked fine with Firefox 3.5, but broke with Firefox 3.6 release. They have checked the source code and it seems not to work. It also loads the game using yoyo70.exe or yoyo60.exe, or something related to that located in C:\ProgramData\Yoyogames. The bug is valid and Firefox 3.6 broke the extension.

Well, if it is an extension, it isn't our responsibility to make sure that it works. If we made it so that all extensions always worked in all versions, we wouldn't go anywhere. They need to update their extension to work with firefox 3.6. Nothing we can do.
