They want to install a plugin with the XPI addon installation
The xpi file is located here : http://coupons.smartsource.com/download/cscmv5.xpi

The install.rdf contains :
<em:minVersion>0.9</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>2.5</em:maxVersion>

The error message is correct, the addon marks itself as not compatible for Firefox0.9 to Firefox2.5 and you are using Firefox 3.01

-> invalid (not a bug, the addon marks itself as not compatible and that's what the error messages tells you)

If you want the plugin working you do that manually.
Download the .xpi file (save link target as), rename .xpi to .zip, unzip the file, copy the NPCpnMgr.dll in the plugins directory to c:\program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
