My 'paid-for' version of Roboform, ( v. 6.10.2) works with FF v. 3.6.17, so why doesn't it work in FF v. 4?

I have a 'paid-for' copy of Roboform, (v. 6.10.2) which works just fine and free on Firefox v. 3.6.17. But it does not work on Firefox version 4. I do not want to buy another version of Roboform to use on FFv4. What happened? Why does it not work anymore? I cannot afford to buy another,newer computer, nor do I wish to. I downgraded to FF v. 3.6.17 and Roboform v. 6.10.2 works just fine. Please tell me what you changed between FF v. 3.6.17 to v. 4 to make Roboform v. 6.10.2 to stop working.

Roboform should be supporting Firefox 3.6.* in general and not any specific security update for Fx 3.6 so it should work if it supported 3.6.17 and earlier.

Roboform hasn't updated v. 6 to work with Firefox 4, they want you to update to v. 7 for Firefox 4 compatibility.

I was hoping that FF v4 would have still worked with RF v6. Do you know what was changed in FF 4 to make it not work with RF v 6?

I know, that's why I asked what changed with ffv4.

Quite honestly, IMHO, I think Siber Systems decided that they want a new source of revenue by forcing users to purchase a new version to be able to use Roboform in Firefox 4.0. Version 6 seemed to work in the Firefox 4 betas all the way up until the actual release of Firefox 4.0, then we started seeing a huge number of complaints posted here about users being forced to upgrade to version 7 and the annual fee that comes with that version.

Would you happen to know if the latest version of ff v3.6.18 works with rf?
