Says this works with Firefox 1.0, but when I install it I get a message that
says it is not compatible with this version. Says it will only work with
versions .8 to .10, not 1.0

Hrm. Three ways this bug could go: invalid, it's a bug on Doron for not leaving
a section in his gm-update.rdf to externally raise the maxVersion for 0.3.3
along with the section that's there now for 0.4; Update : Listings, to either
list 0.4 or drop the listed maxVersion to the internal 0.10 on 0.3.3 (or both);
or, my personal favorite, a bug on the extension installation code, which when
it parses gm-update.rdf and doesn't find a raised maxVersion for version 0.3.3,
really ought to also notice that there's a newer version available which is
compatible, and install that instead. Not sure which of those is right, or best.

changed the update.rdf to have a 0.3.3 part.
