Shasoosh Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) 1. save the .xpi file on your desktop 2. enter it with winrar (the xpi file is basically a compressed folder) 3. extract from there the file install.rdf 4. edit it with notepad 5. change the Max value 1.6 to 2.00 <!-- Firefox --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id> <em:minVersion>0.7</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>1.6</em:maxVersion </Description> 6. save and add the install.rdf back to the xpi archive 7. drag the xpi file to your firefox 8. Enjoy! Worked with 7 out of 7 extensions I've tried!

Yochanan Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Or you can use MR Tech Local Install. Much easier. Plus it does the job of over 40 extensions in one.

xxdesmus Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thank you captain obvious. This has worked since day one. Nightly Tester Tools is still the best option.

Kraftman Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Or you can just change app.extensions.version in about:config and let all themes and extensions install without editing nor with installing an extension such as NTT.

Shasoosh Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) Thank you captain obvious. This has worked since day one. Nightly Tester Tools is still the best option. if you want to get technical, in day one there was only one version of Firefox.. you can go to about:config and create a new boolean key called extensions.checkCompatibility and set it to false but in the add on menu it will give you an ugly red message in every extension that says "not compatible with Firefox 2" Edited September 27, 2006 by Namooth Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499277-firefox-200-rc1-extensions-solution/#findComment-587914133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundayx Veteran Posted October 9, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 9, 2006 nightly tester tool has been my choice. wondering when tab mix plus would update for rc2 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499277-firefox-200-rc1-extensions-solution/#findComment-587940799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 you can go to about:config and create a new boolean key called extensions.checkCompatibility and set it to false but in the add on menu it will give you an ugly red message in every extension that says "not compatible with Firefox 2" This is my preferred method. I like the visual that shows which extensions have not been updated by the developer. That way if there is an issue you can disable them first. No extra extension to install. No hacking the extensions to make it work. It's simple and gets the job done, but is easy to undo later should the need arise.

samg Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 nightly tester or MR Tech Local Install, doesnt work with spellbound. Any ideas?

Xenomorph Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 keep in mind that changing the Max number simply lets the extension install. it doesnt do anything to actually make it compatible. if the extension relies on 1.x or 1.5.x specific features and functions, it may fail to work on 2.x or 3.x.

Quillz Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Or you can use MR Tech Local Install. Much easier. Plus it does the job of over 40 extensions in one. I've seen this extension mentioned on several boards, but I'm a bit confused as to what it actually does. Is it like Nightly Tester Tools, or completely different?
