I need a replacement addon for Perma Tabs
I upgraded to FF 4. from 3.6.17 and either all of my addons upgraded ok or I was able to find satisfactory FF 4 compatible replacements for them.
The only one I could not do that with is Perma Tabs.
This is a vitally important tool for me since every time I open FF there are at least 4 different sites that I go to every time and it is a royal pain to each time have to open new tabs for them.
Does anyone know of a FF4 compatible extension that will emulate the function of Perma Tabs.
Note -- I have emailed the developer and literally begged him to please make Perma Tabs work with FF4.
I will be most grateful for any suggestions re a FF4 compatible extension that will emulate the function of Perma Tabs.

You can use the open file dialog to install it.
The method to access the open file dialog depends on whether you have the traditional menus or the new style UI with the orange Firefox button.
If you have the traditional menus, in the File menu select Open File. If you have the orange Firefox button instead of the menus, click on the orange Firefox button, select New Tab and then Open File.
If you then open the .xpi file it will install the extension.

The author of Perma Tabs is working on a version for Firefox 4.
The author made the announcement about that here - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=10296941#p10296941

Thank you so much.
I've downloaded the file to my desktop.
It has .xpi at the end of its name.
When I click on it to open it, Windows says it needs to know what program created it.
What is the proper procedure for opening the file? -- do I have to put it somewhere in Firefox?
Please advise where the file should be put and then how to go about opening it -- I've never done anything like this before.
Thank you for your help and patience -- this stuff is really complicated for me

This is wonderful ! -- your instructions worked perfectly re both the traditional menu and the orange FF button.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !!!
