Many many useful plugins aka extensions are Incompatible with the new Firefox 3.x. There are several workarounds to force them to get installed but there is one addon called Nightly Tester Tools 2.0.2 which makes it easy to install a non compatible firefox addon.
[[ Nightly Tester Tools 2.0.2 Firefox Addon ]]
After installation of this addon,whenever one tries to install an incompatible old firefox addon a windows appears prompting for force install.
Note: Forcing an incompatible outdated addon to install is risky. Since the addon is not optimized for the new firefox version, it might cause frequent crashes. If that happens simply disable that addon.

there is a geekier method too :p
Though all my addons work well with FF 3. Finally things are back to compatibility and stability.

I just used this method to get my RadialContext addon working again, giving me back mouse gestures. I can’t describe how much of a relief it is to get them back. You are a hero, good sir.
