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?

i've tried : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/fire.../1.99.1 but i have a problem with directory listing, and then i've found a Beta version that works fine for me : http://www.nightlight.ws/fireftp.xpi

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.
