I just loaded the Test Pilot add-on. I don't remember which version of Firefox I was running when I loaded it. I use both because 4.o won't work on all sites without IETAB. I loaded on 3.6.15 and I'd like to load it to 4.o. How???

Are you using the same Firefox Profile Folder with both versions?

An extension is always installed in the profile folder that is being used while installing that extension.


You should avoid using the same Firefox profile with different Firefox versions.

If you you that profile with both versions then create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.
