You can probably hack the extension to support FF5. There haven't been too many changes that should affect this.
And hence the stupidity in adopting Chrome-style meaningless major version-numbers when what is released is only a minor update. I know the IT industry is highly fashion-driven, but that doesn't mean following fashions doesn't have drawbacks.
This is Firefox 4.1 at best, but released as Firefox 5 with all the needless addon breaking headaches that will bring, just because Mozilla wanted to be more "fashionate". Great job guys. Great job.
I guess this another thing we can thank the Chrome team for.
