Hi,

You have three options:-

You can install the add-on compatibility reporter addon from Mozilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/)
and then install the official relese of Selenium IDE.

Or download and install the latest snapshot version from http://xserve.openqa.org:8085/browse/IDE-IDE/latest

Or search google and learn how to patch Selenium IDE v1.0.10 (or other addons) to run
in Firefox 4.

Let me know if it helped.

Cheers,
Samit

I've modified last 1.1.10 selenium-ide in order to work with my Firefox 4 beta 12.
You'll find attached a patch and my selenium-ide and selenium-ide-1.1.10 xpi modified.
For IDE, I've applied the only missing update found in a previous patch. For all xpi,
I've modified ffirefox max version from pre beta 8 to 4.0.*.

Hope this could be helpfull

You cannot add it to the FF4 app menu. But I added this feature a couple of days back,
so it should available in the new version of Selenium IDE when it is released.

Hi!
By adding Compatibility Reporter add-on. Selenium IDE works fine in Firefox 4.

Vijay - the Compatibility Reporter add-on seem to allow me to use Selenium IDE 1.0.10
with Firefox 4.0.1 in Windows only.  

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with Firefox 4.0.1 and the Compatibility Reporter 0.8.3 on
another machine.  I can install the IDE ok it seems, but when I attempt to use the
IDE via tools -> Selenium IDE, Firefox crashes.
