Timeless' comment from bug 340219:

(From update of attachment 268347 [details])
Assuming that the layout of this dialog is mostly correct (understanding that
the strings have been minced). I'd like to note that as I read it, it says that
this add-on will be updated to version 1.2.4 which is Not compatible with
Minefield 3.0a6pre (which presumably is the version of minefield you're
running).

IOW, I'm suggesting that the Not compatible line be placed *above* the the will
update line.

(personally, I'd also indent it, but ...)

[Rhino] JavaScript Options 1.2.3
_______ Provides advanced ....
_______ === Not compatible with ....
_______ Add-on will be updated to 1.2.4 ....

The strings here are just examples use whatever someone approves, don't take
them as part of the advice, I'm only concerned with layout today. __ and == are
both used here for indentation although __ I suppose could be overflow from the
picture above.

How about not displaying the incompatible message when the version to be installed is compatible since the incompatible message is of little interest in this case?

This window doesn't exist anymore after the EM rewrite for Firefox 4.
