You don't. This is a bit of the "right hand not caring what the left hand is doing." Firefox likes others to create add-ons for their product, but does nothing to assist the developers of those add-ons be ready for future Firefox upgrades. On the plus side, Adobe is a big outfit and, as soon as they quit cursing at Mozilla and crew, will update their product to work under Firefox 3. If it isn't working within a week or two I'd be surprised.
