Rename this as a zip file and extract the rdf file inside it. Open this file in Notebook and change the Firefox version info to 2.0 or greater. Save the edited file, drag it back into the zip file and rename the latter as xpi. Open this by right clicking and using Firefox which should install the Extension. It did seem to work in my 2 cases.
...or you could just install this extension, which will do all that for you

When the install dialogue appears, there will a checkbox there to make the extension compatible during installation.
