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. FF3 does keep track of which ones these are and when a update comes along it will automatically find it and let you know about it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3567#post-37283 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:43:09 +0000 BuBBy 37283@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Out of interest, sergio - which Add-ons were your incompatible favorites?</p> <p>In some cases Nightly Tester Tools (NTT) can get around version limitations.</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543</a></p> <p>Of course these are <em>Testing</em> tools and bypassing the compatibility checks may need some testing - but I found a few while FF was in beta - and the incompatible Add-ons worked just fine.</p> <p>(Sometimes even slight issues are worth putting up with - when it means you can use your favorite Add-ons until a new one for version 3 is written) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3567#post-37247 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:38:55 +0000 sergio 37247@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>its just a shame that almost none of my favorite plugins work at this time with version 3. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3567#post-37237 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:56:02 +0000 Jaddis 37237@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>For all of you who participated in the FireFox Download Day you will be happy to know that Mozilla did set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in a 24 hour period.
