This would be an error with the extension programmer. The extension should have
contact information so that you can inform them of the error.

Marking INVALID.

How would that be an error on the part of the extension programmer? Look at the
reporter's User-Agent: that's "1.0PR", which in extension terms is 0.10. An
extension that requires 1.0 shouldn't install in it.

Scott: you really do need to upgrade to the final 1.0 release, not just for
extensions, or for the 400-odd bug fixes between 0.10 and 1.0, but for several
serious security fixes.
