you'll have an install.rdf file in your extensio xpi. Search for the string "maxversion" without quotes. this is the string that decides the compatibility of your addon with the version of firefox. If you are just testing you can bump it up to 300. But a valid version can be pulled from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/pages/appversions
