An add-on is telling me I have a different version of Firefox than I actually have.

I have the current version of Firefox (5.0.1), and went to download an add-on (Scrapbook by Gomita). It tells me the current version of their add-on (1.4.7) isn't compatible with the version I have, which they tell me is 3.0.11. I know I have 5.0.1 of Firefox, as I downloaded it again today. Why is this?

Thank you so much, that's what it was. I don't have a clue how FBS got onto my machine, but there it was. Again, thanks!
