Thanks for tracking that down. We’ll investigate why that might be happening. Could you either submit a bugzilla report or let me know off-list what plugins you have installed so we can reproduce?

LiveCode 7 and above use a separate preferences file to 6.x and below - if you customise the location of your folder in 7 or above, it shouldn’t affect previous versions. Versions 7 and 8 use the same preferences file, though. The setting is in Preferences -> Files & Memory and is the “User Extensions” folder at the bottom of the pane.
