Q: can I use the 7.3 firmware on my airport express?

Firmware version 7.x requires that you have a wireless "n" version of the AirPort Express with different hardware...Model No A1264 or A1392.

Yes
However, you can use AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion to configure the older Express.....and....your newer devices as well, so you might want to make that application your "go to" utility.
Keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.x on your Mac.
