Example is Tab Mix Plus which has to be adapted for almost every Firefox beta...(you have to get it from the main site...) In my understanding, it's not yet possible to have the same extension propose different versions depending on the user firefox version (that's the reason behind, modifying the extension for Firefox 3 may break it for Firefox 2 users....)
