Firefox can be made to drop this compatibility check. To be able to install an addon which is incompatible, the compatibility check needs to be turned off.
Go to about:config and right-click anywhere and choose New > Boolean. Give the preference the following name :
For Nightly and UX-builds : extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly and set it to false.
For Aurora : extensions.checkCompatibility.7.0a and set it to false.
Older addons can now be installed on this Firefox.
For instance I went to : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ , the page says : Not available for Firefox 8.0a1. Just right-click the Add to Firefox button and choose Open Link in New Tab.. The addon will now be installed.
Do note if they are not really compatible, Firefox will crash!
