Of course life being what it is and commitments springing up - sometimes when plugins need to be updated - there isn't any time free.</p> <p>The testing tools I mentioned above basically tells firefox to ignore the maximum version number encoded in the plugin - so while it might say it will work with Firefox up to version 2.x - with the testing tools you can make it install and load in version 3.</p> <p>Then you should go through and check that it works as you expect - It probably will - but some plugins might make the browser crash or freeze. (Hint - you remove these plugins)</p> <p>If the plugin causes firefox to choke - then you have to wait for the new version.<br /> If the plugin works ok and you are happy with it - you have something that you can use until the programmer gets around to updating it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3567#post-37284 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:49:25 +0000 Jaddis 37284@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>A few of my plug-ins were not compatible with FF3.
