I tried this with an add-on (an experimental one – I don’t know if that fact is relevant) but two strange things happened. Firstly, turning the XPI into a ZIP didn’t allow it to open. Secondly, while the XPI could be opened itself in a text editor, em: does not appear in the text, making the rest of the steps impossible. (This is a long shot – could it be that I’m using 7-Zip instead of WinZip to open archives? 7-Zip cannot open it as a ZIP, or even when its XPI status is restored for that matter.)

Thanks for this tip. I’d done this before but couldn’t remember which file needed to be edited to change the maxversion.

thanks again,

Or just force it to install with Nightly Tester Tools (google it). Much easier.
