I had the same problem.  ameboide said you can install the add-on here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/421
and then download Greasefire.  You can modify the .rdf file to increase the
maxVersion setting, but I can't figure out how to get it to install to Firefox 
after
that.

Yea I'm not sure exactly what is going on.  After you upgrade to 3.6, 
Greasefire will be disabled because it is 
incompatible, but if you click the button to upgrade extensions, it updates it 
with a "compatibility update" and 
then it works fine after you restart.

http://code.google.com/p/greasefire/source/browse/firefox/Makefile.in line 20:
FIREFOX_MAXVERSION=3.1b3pre
change it to 3.6 or something

the version in addons.mozilla.org says it's compatible with 3.6 but the 
install.rdf
file says 3.1b3pre. also, sometimes it just stops working saying it isn't 
compatible,
but will be reenabled after restarting firefox (probably mr tech toolkit doing 
its magic)

kahenke, to do it manually you should download the .xpi file ("right click/save 
link
as..." in the "add to firefox" button), open it with winrar or any compression
utility, edit the install.rdf file, put it back in the .xpi file, and execute it
(open it with firefox)

oh by the way, also change the homepage in the install.rdf, the current one 
doesn't
exist (or update that page, or redirect it here)
