I sent him a mail, I'll post anything I learn. Roughly the process is to download the extension, extract a standard .rdf(?) file and override a max supported version property. Reassemble the .xpi and open it from firefox to install. BTW, overriding usually works, but not always. An orbit theme broke my Tools / Options window (its download site now warns about deerpark breakage). Now I like the firefox "safemode" option ;-) Confirmed, and google-searching his site doesn’t find it either. I sent him a mail, I’ll post anything I learn.
