Well, some news. I didn't fiddle with the innards of the Multizilla XPI
to change the maxversion, but I found out about the
"extensions.checkCompatibility" trick in about:config. (See
http://dotnetwizard.net/soft-apps/firefox-3-beta-4-disabling-extension-compatibility-check/

)
So I disabled the compatibility check and had another run...

Results:
1. The about.config entry does not actually stop the version checking,
only the version *enforcing.* Which is actually kind of nice -- if you
open the Add-on manager, it will mark extensions as "not compatible" but
will let them load anyway.
2. Multizilla installed, but it didn't seem to work. For instance, I
couldn't open a new tab by right-clicking or control-clicking -- and the
Multizilla toolbar buttons were dead. Couldn't even open the Multizilla
preferences.
3. GoogleBox didn't install -- apparently the XPI is missing the new
internal structure.
