How To Get Your Favorite Add-ons Working In Firefox 3.5

A browser update certainly makes browsing a safer task but, you may have to loose your favorite add-ons if they are not compatible with the latest release.

Here is a trick to get them back to work, which will help you greatly as you upgrade to Firefox 3.5 (b99) :

• Open about:config. To open it simple type about:config in the address bar.
• Accept the warranty condition.

• Create a new boolean entry. To create, make a right click anywhere and select New > Boolean.

• Name this entry as : extensions.checkCompatibility and set it to false.

And, you are done! Now, add-ons will work irrespective of their compatibility with the version of Firefox.

This trick is very useful for Firefox beta users.
