Old version of fireftp disabled when I upgraded to firefox 4. When I try to install from add-ons page,

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=ftp

I click on fireftp and get "connection failure on addons.mozilla.org .

I need fireftp. Must I uninstall firefox 4 and reinstall old version?

1.99.1 works for me. Why does mozilla put up 1.99.2 as current and then fail it with connection?

Thanks to ebadmail.
