Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110220 Firefox/4.0b12pre
If you are trying to install an older version of an addon which has been marked as compatible on AMO but has a lower maxVersion for the application, it cannot be installed.
Steps:
1. Create a fresh profile
2. Opent the all versions page of the ACR add-on
3. Try to install version 0.7
The installation fails with the message that the add-on is not compatible with Firefox 4b12pre.
Messages from the error console:
LOG addons.xpi: Download started for https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/101926/add-on_compatibility_reporter-0.7-fx+tb+sm.xpi?src=version-history to file C:\DOCUME~1\mozilla\LOCALS~1\Temp\tmp-xza.xpi

It looks like that if a new compatible version is available, we cancel the download of the old version, and don't install it.

FYI, version 0.7 was uploaded with a maxVersion of 4.0b8pre. It was later marked as 4.0.* compatible in the AMO developer hub.

A nuisance, and I'm worried it might point to a bigger problem, but inability to download older versions of addons is not, in itself, a blocker.

Not a regression at all, this is a long-standing issue with how AMO implements the update service and only gives us information about the latest version of an add-on.

Dave, the case covered by this bug is working perfectly fine in Firefox 3.6, but fails in Firefox 4. So I do not think that this is a bug on AMO side.

Which add-on are you testing that with? ACR works just fine on 3.6 because it includes compatibility with 3.6 in its install.rdf and doesn't need the update check.

Try to install Mozmill 1.5.1 from the page below. It is marked as compatible with Firefox 4 but cannot be installed:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mozmill/versions/
It's even not possible to install those older addons from disk. As consequence it will completely block QA from running any update tests for add-ons in the add-ons manager.

We will probably upload our own test extensions which have been marked as compatible with 4.0.*, so we can test extension updates.
