I've performed the following steps:

1. Install Firefox 6.0
2. Install an add-on which is compatible to Firefox 7.0 but not the latest version of the add-on (Try URL Fixer by installing Version 3.0)
3. Restart Firefox to install the add-on
4. Check for and download the update for the add-on (DO NOT INSTALL IT BY RESTARTING), it should update to 3.1
5. Exit or kill Firefox 6.0 and install Firefox 7.0.1 by replacing the install
6. Check that the add-on is not missing from the add-ons manager, and that it is active and usable.

It seems that this issue is not reproducible any more. I've verified it
with both restartless (e.g., an add-on such as Cleary) and restart add-
ons (e.g, Persona's), but works fine.
