I think more than 50% of the world wide Firefox users might have updated to Firefox 3.5.
Immediately, after upgrading to Firefox 3.5, most of us might have see some of the Addons that we were using might not be compatible with Firefox 3.5.
What if you got accustomed to some addons which you want to use at any cost with Firefox 3.5? This is trick will help you to Make Firefox Addons compatible with Firefox 3.5 or higher. Once you apply this you don’t have to worry much about Mozilla’s updating of Firefox to the latest version fixing all the memory leaks, vulnerabilities and other security loopholes.
How to make Addons compatible to Firefox 3.5 or higher?
The solution is to add some configurations in Firefox settings (which is similar to Windows Registry). All the changes you make from here on are done at your own risk. Do revert the settings if something goes wrong.
- Type
about:config address bar of Firefox browser and hit enter. It will give you a warning. Just click the button “I’ll be careful, I promise!” and proceed…
- It will show a huge list of values. Now, right click any where in the free white-space on the screen and click on New –> Boolean, then name the Boolean as checkCompatibility – make it false in the next step.
- again right click and click on New -> Boolean and name as checkUpdateSecurity and choose false.
- After doing this changes to get the changes applied, Restart the Firefox browser. Now install the addon that was not supported or compatible by Firefox 3.5 and install it.
- Restart the Firefox browser once again. Now, the not compatible addon will work with Firefox 3.4
Hope you liked this trick.
