Problems in 4.0b7pre (Minefield)

Partially working in Minefield (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20101004 Firefox/4.0b7pre ID:20101004033717). Some extensions (PDF Plugin specifically) cannot be enabled no matter what.

No longer working in 4.0b7pre

The Compatibility Reporter appears to be broken in 4.0b7pre Build 20101002030833. A number of my extensions now state "**** will be disabled after you restart Minefield", followed by 2 links, Restart Now and Undo. Clicking undo doesn't do anything

Dave,

Please investigate. It could be that the change to the higher maxVer is not being observed, which points to an Add-ons Manager bug.

The interesting bit here is the first report where it says it is partially working, citing PDF Plugin specifically as being disabled no matter what.

I can reproduce this in the nightly.

Regardless of ACR, even if "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b" (which seems correct for this build) is set to false, any incompatible add-ons are not enabled. So, this isn't an ACR bug, but rather some bug in the add-on manager.

I can't find anything in BZ for this, so it could be a new bug?

Bug 601836 perhaps?

Don't think so.

Dave, see if you can still reproduce this.

I can't reproduce this any longer. Add-on compatibility check functionality working as expected on 4.0b8.
