Say Goodbye To Firefox 2
Yes, I really don wanna go back to firefox 2. But there are some add-ons i really need there. So what should i do?
After some googling i got this work-around today. I tried immediately by adding the boolean “extensions.checkCompatibility” with the value of “false”. Then restart my firefox.
You know what? Oops, it works! At least most of my favourite add-ons are working now, including del.icio.us, ABP, IE Tab, Foxyproxy, Search Status and Forecastfox. Then from now on I will stay at firefox 3 for sure, even it it’s still in beta. Tons of positive reviews plus my personal experience push me make the choice.
We all know in the end those add-ons will be definitely upgraded to be compatible with firefox 3. for now I just can’t wait. How about you?:-)
Update(Feb.17,2008): if you are now in firefox 3 beta 3, just as i am, you may check out my new post here on how to make your favorite add-ons working there.

Hi!
First of all thanks for this article!
I’d like to provide additional receipt to turn ON those extensions that left locked even after applying extensions.checkCompatibility.
Here is another one parameter: extensions.checkUpdateSecurity.
Set it to ‘false’ and all of those extensions that has unsecure update URL in section will be unlocked!

Many thanks for the sharing. I wonder if the tricks above still work under the coming beta 3 as well. Can’t wait to do the upgrade now.
