On a side note; you need to change version number back to "1.5" if you want to use the Gmail Space extension too.

This is a VERY bad method and will break all extensions that require 1.5 to work. Do it if you must, but using nightly tester tools to override and make your old extensions work is a much better method.

Hello:

Read your post and followd your guideline. All my extensions are now working as they did with my previous version of Firefox 1.07. Thanks a lot. I had read about it but was reluctat to do it, fearing that it could hamper my Firefox 1.5 version.

However everything worked according to the book. Thanks a lot for this tip. I'm spreading the word at my block; Epiac's Place. Take a look.

Cheers,

Omar.-

I originally was dissapointed when changing the Ã¢â‚¬Å“app.extensions.versionÃ¢â‚¬? to 1.0, because I couldn't run 1.5 extensions. Well, I changed the value to 1.5, and all my 1.0 and 1.5 extensions work.
Thanks WGC, you made my life that much more pleasant.

Well if you want the bookmark sync extension you can download it from http://www.beatnikpad.com/a... it works great with my Firefox 1.5 optimized for G4 .

The "nightly tester tools" extension does this nicely and gives you a checkbox on the install dialog box (the one with the 3 sec pause) so you can overide the version and make compatable...

here's a link: https://addons.mozilla.org/...

cool tip! some of my extensions did not work when I upgraded. this should help!

Great trick! Most of the extension just set maxVersion to be 1.0.x and therefore not compatible with 1.5

Angry:
I did, you didn't notice the "Original" link above? FYI: I found it weeks ago.

ahodge:
I don't think the entries really matter since they most likely are only used by the extension itself and not Firefox itself. I'm probably wrong but I wouldn't delete them.

You didn't create this, someone else discovered this several days before! Always cite your sources and where you got it from, the post you made makes it appear like you discovered this which I highly doubt.

I looked at my config file, and there are tons of entries for extensions that I've tried, then ditched.

Can I get rid of these? Are they slowing things down by being there? How do I remove the offending entries?

Thanks

works nice other than "minimize to tray"
but there is always bugs when modifing anything.
Thanks for the tip.
