Not sure that it will work but you could try going to the author's website to see if there is another version that might work. Look for his/her website on the Mozilla page where you found the extension.

I have exactly the same problem. Are you using the 32 or 64 bit version ?

xpi files are just zip files. So, download the plugin with wget or a similar tool. Then, unzip it into a temporary folder.
If my memory serves correctly, there will be a file called "install.rdf". Open it into a text editor. In this file you can find the max and min versions of firefox that the plugin supports.
You can just edit these numbers to allow the plugin to install on your version of firefox. Then, zip back the all the stuff into the xpi file, and open the modified xpi with firefox.
That should allow the plugin to install. Whether it will run correctly or not depends ultimately in the plugin itself, and the version of firefox.
