Only one issue per bug please.

"No Options button" is intentional (too few options to warrant maintaining a dialog). See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/NightlyTesterTools#Settings about how to get at the options.

"Force compatibility" feature was not working satisfactorily, the Add-ons Compatibility Reporter extension (which has more developers, some of them paid) does it better. See also bug 650634.
