Here is an important message straight from the horses mouth, AMO. This
mail was sent out yesterday
---------------------------
Dear Add-on Developer:
We are officially at end game. Beta 5, the last Firefox 3 beta, has
shipped. This means the next release will be a Firefox 3 release
candidate. Please check your add-on for compatibility with beta 5, and
if everything looks good, bump your maxVer on addons.mozilla.org (AMO)
to "3.0pre". There are an estimated 1.2mil users running Firefox 3
betas, so your add-on will get some serious testing.
Once the first release candidate has shipped, and your add-on is
supported, you will be able claim 3.0.* support on AMO.
If you are still having trouble getting updated, please see our detailed
information on changes relevant to add-ons developers:

http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2007/12/11/ensuring-compatibility-of-add-ons-and-themes-for-firefox-3/
As always, help is available on the #extdev channel on irc.mozilla.org
and in the mozilla.dev.extensions newsgroup.
You should be validating against the final beta. Here are links to the
builds:

Expect a release candidate in late April or early May.
Looking forward to a successful launch of Firefox 3!
