The simplest is to turn off update compatibility testing. I do that with Addons Compatibility Reporter, available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ One of the things it does is turn off the compatibility check so you can see if existing extensions actually work in the new version. Nightly Tester Tools has a similar feature: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nightly-tester-tools/ The alternative is to download the XPI, open it with a zip archive utility, and extract and edit the install.rdf file, changing the maxValue field to what Nightly reports as. Save the changed install.rdf file back into the XPI and install from the local copy. Using an extension to turn off the test is simpler, and you wont need to download the XPI and edit the install.rdf file every time a new FB version gets released. I have 70+ extensions installed in Nightly, and the ability to turn off the compatibility check is critical for me. If I couldn't, I simply couldn't use Nightly. _____ Dennis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
