Right click on the .chm file > Properties > Click on Unblock button. Now try opening it.
Also, if the filename contains any symbol then rename your file and remove those symbols. A known bug in Window.
There is a workaround to force older add-on to work with your version of firefox.
1) Type about:config in address bar > Agree the warning > Right-click > New > Boolean > Type extensions.checkCompatibility in boolean value's name and set its value to False.
Basically you are disabling the compatibility check so now you can install any older add-on in any version of firefox. Another way to achieve the same is by editing the extension file itself. But why go the hassle way.

If all fails then try opening it with Help Explorer Viewer / Kchmviewer.
