User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/4.0b12pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/4.0b12pre

In Mozilla Add-ons, there's an Install Anyway feature that fails saying that the addon is incompatible with my current ff version.

I want to install, then have immediately and automatically disabled an addon, because it's incompatible with my current ff version and IMPORTANT because I want to receive its updates, so that if it becomes compatible with my current ff version, ff'll enable it for me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://addons.mozilla.org/
2. find an addon that is incompatible with your current firefox version
3. click Add to Firefox
4. click Install Anyway
5. click Allow
6. wait for ff to download it
7. wait for ff to try to install it
Actual Results:  
error message, but didn't you say Install Anyway?

Expected Results:  
the addon would be install-then-disable-d, so that I would receive its updates, so that if it becomes compatible, ff will enable it for me
