User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

I wanted to install extension for Sunbird which in fact was prepared for previous release. Sunbird do not show any information that extension is not compatibility with this version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create new profile
2. download http://beta.aviary.pl/sunbird/0.3a2/sunbird-0.3a2.pl.langpack.xpi
3. install this lang pack
   -> after "checking compatibility..." extension just disappears without any confirmation


Expected Results:  
Should be confirmation like when you try to install extension that is not supported for Sunbird (eg ChatZilla)
As I remember Firefox warn if you want to install extension not supported for this product or version

This is depended on the supplied maxVersion (here: 0.3a2) of the extension, the version identifier of Sunbird (here: 0.3a2+) and how nsIVersionComparator behaves (see bug 315315 and http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Toolkit_version_format).
