Make your old incompatible Add-ons work in Firefox 3





Yes, you could wait until whoevers Extension you are using is updated OR you can use this handy little trick:

  • Open a new Tab
  • Enter about:config in the addressbar
  • Void the warranty! (You’ll see what i mean)
  • Look for extensions.checkCompatibility
  • Set the value to false
  • You may or may not have to restart Firefox

And that’s it! Keep in mind not to blame Firefox for incompatible Extensions that do not work now ;) To reverse those Settings you can always do the same steps and just set the value back to true.
