The Feedback button in my 4.0b7 version suddenly thinks I'm using an old beta, but FireFox Help states I'm "up to date"

A week ago I installed 4.0b7, and used the feedback buttom twice. Since then, my children have used my lap top. This morning to my surprise FireFox 3.6 was launched, even the Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 desk top icon launched the old 3.6, and even opening the C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 directory and running firefox.exe first started 3.6. After closing all FF windows I retried running firefox.exe from Explorer, and this time I got 4.0 b7.
When I wanted to report this behaviour through the Feedback button I got the reply that I was not using the correct B version and was redirected to the download page - F1 tells me I'm already up-tp-date.

You need to wait until beta 8 is released before you can submit feedback, which barring any issues arising should be later today.
By default the beta is installed in a different location than 3.6, so you need to ensure that the shortcut you use to launch Firefox is for the version that you want to run. You should also avoid using the same profile for the 2 versions, if necessary create a new profile for Firefox 4 and set the shortcuts to open the correct profile.
