When I try to download Lightning through Firefox, it fails with an "Incompatible Extension - Lightning 0.1 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox."

But, when I download through IE, it downloaded and I was able to install it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Windows download link.
2. Download extensions window opens
3. Error message appears.

The instructions state: "Pick the appropriate XPI file for your platform, save it to your hard disk from your browser, and then install it in Thunderbird 1.5 or 1.5.0.*."  Save it to your hard disk means right click->'Save Target As'.
