Make old extensions works with Firefox 3

The beta releases of Firefox 3.0 was released some days ago.

In Every release of a new beta version some of our old firefox extensions and add-ons become not more usable.
In the latest release of Firefox, exactly 3.0rc1 , almost none of them work.


There's an easy solution to this problem and it come from computerworld.com.au

THEY repeats:DO NOT TRY THIS unless you are comfortable editing the advanced preferences of your browser. And don't do anything until you've read through this entire post.


1) Type about:config in Firefox 3.0rc1
2) Add a new Boolean var
3) Type extensions.checkCompatibility
4) Set it to false
5) Restart Firefox

When the browser comes back up, version checking is disabled so the browser could warn you about this. You can double-check "Tools:Add-Ons" to make sure everything is activated once again.

If this procedure fails you have to go manually to your prefs.js and remove the var that you inserted in the step 3.

What is Tor?!?

The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser and is self contained. If you would prefer to use your existing web browser, install Tor permanently, or if you don't use Windows, see the other ways to download Tor.
