Hmm, apparently that will only LET you install the extension. 
I was able to install it ok after doing that, but when I went 
to the add-ons area and saw the extension in the list 
(JumpLink), it has below it "Not compatible with FF 2.0.0.15". 
:-(

Thanks for trying though.  ;-)

FWIW in <http://windowssecrets.com/comp/080619> the following
hack was offered for getting older versions of add-ons to work
with Firefox 3:

"Make your add-ons toe the line. The most popular add-ons for
Firefox 2 work fine with version 3. Still, if one of your add-
ons acts up, you can instruct Firefox to stop checking the
compatibility and security of all your add-ons.

Naturally, doing so could put your system at risk. But if 
you're
desperate to make an add-on work, try this change at your own
risk.

Right-click anywhere in the about:config list of settings and
choose New, Boolean. When prompted, type
extensions.checkCompatibility and press Enter. At the second
prompt, select false and press Enter.

Now right-click in the list and choose New, Boolean again. Type
extensions.checkUpdateSecurity when prompted and press Enter.
Select false at the next prompt and press Enter."
