Install fails on Firefox 3.7a5

jewillco
When I attempt to install Zotero 2.0.3 on Firefox 3.7a5, I receive an error "Zotero 2.0.3 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.7a5pre.". I have tried installing from both the Zotero site and the Firefox addons page. I have Nightly Tester Tools installed (which was recommended by a previous forum post here on this topic), but that does not appear to help. I had a Zotero 2 beta installed previously (showing that compatibility with Firefox 3.7 existed at one time), and that stopped working, so I uninstalled it today. I tried installing 2.0.3 both before and after the uninstall of the old version, receiving the same message both times. Is there a workaround to force Zotero to install?

    We haven't yet tested Zotero with 3.7. If there are specific problems, feel free to report them. You'll need to override compatibility checking with NTT.

    specifically you need to select "override all compatibility" at the bottom right of the "Add-ons" Dialogue in Firefox.

    Is this override possible with the new Add-ons Manager in Firefox? I haven't found a way to force the install. Anyone else figure it out?

    Update: I can force an install after installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, but the Add-on does not seem to be allowed to get loaded.

    Thanks

    oops - NTT doesn't and won't work for 3.7a (which will turn into FF 4.0)

    also notes a forthcoming substitute. Right now I fear you're stuck, but it sounds like
    compatibility reporter will pick this up soon.
