It appears to work here, in FF 4.0, Aurora (FF 5.0 beta) and Nightly (FF 6.0 alpha). In my case, installing the Addons Compatibility Reporter extension did it. One of the things that does when installed is turn off compatibility checking, so you can install extensions FF would normally claim were incompatible to see if they still work. In many cases, they do - FF only thinks they are incompatible because each extension has an install.rdf file with a maxValue field that specifies the latest version the extension is certified to work with. When a new FF release comes out, there are always extensions that get deemed incompatible because the maxValue field in the install.rdf file has not been updated to include the new release. They actually work fine, but Firefox doesn't know that. Addons Compatibility Reporter is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Another extension that includes that function is Nightly Tester Tools: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nightly-tester-tools/ You can also download the extension's XPI file, open it in an archiver (it's a zip file), extract the install.rdf file, edit the value for maxValue to make it FF 4.0, then stuff it back into the XPI and install from the local copy. ______ Dennis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
