Is there any way around this?
It looks like there might be a beta build here: mozdev.org - superdragandgo: installation.

In general, however, see Bumping extensions - The Extensions Mirror

There are two ways to achieving this, the easiest is to change your app version.
- Type about:config in the addresbar
- Type app.extensions.version in the filterbar
- Rightclick the entry and choose modify
- Change 1.0 to 0.10

Another way is to do it like this:
Close Firefox,
open \%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\randomname\extensions\Extensions.rdf
and change maxVersion="0.10" to maxVersion="1.0" (there may be a few).

Now you can use all the old extensions smile.gif

The second way is to edit the extension itself, known as repackaging/bumping.

- Open the extension (*.xpi) (you can use any archive program)
- Find the install.rdf file
- Open it with a normal text editor (no word/wordpad, just plain simple notepad)
- Find the line that says <maxversion>0.x</maxversion>
- Change the number to 1.0
- Save and update the archive

Now you got yourself a repacked/bumped extension that will install on a 1.0 build
Last step is to send the repack to sboulema@gmail.com, so others can use it
