That's a pain in the ass now.
Installing different versions just aint going to work sadly as I want to run at least 10 instances. :ballchain

Did you try opening multiple instances? Try using different proxy add-on on every instance (3-5), install 2 versions with 3-5 different proxy add-ons for 6-10 different proxies?

Such a Add-on is technically not possible. It would require to change the host a request connects to, you can't do that within a extension.
But you can use profiles: start your firefox with "firefox -p" (which starts the profile manager) and create one profile for each proxy. Then make a shortcut for each profile with "firefox -p profile_name".

I know it is very painful working in need of several ip (proxy) at a time. In fact, I just follow a tactic - it is installing several browsers like mozila, cometbird, flock (all are same as firefox) , internet explorer, safari, opera and so on and I used to keep a excel sheet where I kept the information which ip is defined for wich browser and also I made classified tasks for the each browser too.

u can use same version of firefox each independently.
first create firefox desktop icon as many u want then create firefox profile as many u created desktop icon.
then right click in icon>properties>shortcut>then put this in target
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1\firefox.exe" -P "profile name" -no-remote

One way to do this is to use:
Multple Firefox Profiles:
Having multiple firefox profiles means multiple proxies as you can set a unique proxy for each profile.
1. Setting up Multple Profiles:
