Thank you very much - you saved my day.

Not too developer friendly, but there seems to be a reason for it: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531886#c48

I wanted to complain that a change like this isn't documented in the 
release notes - but I just realised it is: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extensions/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4 
mentions the change.

(I only read 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_4_for_developers#Changes_for_Mozilla_and_add-on_developers 
and overlooked the aforementioned document.)
