i feel obligated to give minefield nightly another round :ermm: :sleep2: *sigh*

I'm sticking to Firefox 4.0 stable for the time being. I'm fairly happy with it, moreso with the Windows version than with the OS X version. Switching to Firefox 5 can wait until it hits beta.

This is no longer in the about:config list of 4.2a1pre . So is there another way in 4.2a1pre to force the extensions?

-Download the .xpi file from the Addon

-Rename the .xpi file to a .zip file

-Open it with winrar or 7zip

-unzip the install.rdf and open it with an editor

-find the entry like <em:maxVersion>4.0</em:maxVersion> (either on top or bottom)

-change it to 4.2a1pre or 4.x

-Save the file and put it back to the zip file and overwrite the existent file.

-rename the .zip file back to .xpi and install it.

In a new tab, type "about:config" without quotes and hit enter.

Then rightclick a blank spot in the page -> New -> Boolean -> (write/paste) "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.2a" (without quotes) -> set to False -> restart Minefield -> done

OK! You get my vote for FireFox Genius! Worked perfectly
