I went to the Google Accelerator web site.  I saw the System Requirements.  It said it will work with Firefox 1.0+ and then I clicked Download Now.  After I downloaded it I installed it.  Then I restarted Firefox.  I went to Tools>Add-ons to find it.  It said that it was not compatible with Firefox 3.  Then I upgraded to Firefox 3.0.1 and it said that it was not compatible with Firefox 3.0.1

If I understand you right, this is a problem with a Google tool? In that case, you need to bring it to Google's attention, as they are the provider of this add-on. There is nothing addons.mozilla.org can do for you, I'm afraid.
