EdgeCrafting - giving you an Edge !

Missing your favorite extension in firefox 3 ?! - In a post last year I wrote about the nightly tester tool which can be used for overriding extension compability check.

Nightly tester tool overwrite compatibility check extension by extension, if you want to skip compatibility for all extension in Firefox3 it's possible to switch of the compatibility check entirely:

1. Type “about:config” in the Firefox address bar
   Note: “about:config” shows configuration variable for Firefox
   
2. By-pass the warning screen
   Note: no complaining if altered settings gives you trouble !
   
3. In the area with list of settings variable, right click anywhere and choose New + Boolean in the pop-up
   Note: We want to define a new variable
   
4. Name the New Boolean “extensions.checkCompatibility” and press enter
5. Choose “false” as the value
   Note: Tells Firefox to ignore extension compatibility check
   
6. Restart Firefox
