If you want to try the hack and don't know it, here it is. In the .xpi
package (download it if you haven't) is a file named install.rdf.
Open the rdf text file with an archive manager and send that file to a
text editor. There will be a line that specifies the maximum FF/TB version
(same process works with TB extensions) that the extension has been
written for. Change that version number to include the version of
the application you're trying to use the extension with. Save the edited
rdf back into the xpi. Install the extension. I've had excellent results
reclaiming old extensions this way.
