Make Your Firefox Extensions Compatible

**Anilrgowda** · 03-Jan-2007, 03:13 AM

Here's an easy way to solve those incompatible extension problems when you upgrade the Fox.

1. Save the .xpi extension file to your desktop.
2. Open it with Winrar (the xpi file is basically a compressed folder)
3. Extract the file install.rdf from the archive.
4. Open install.rdf with notepad.
5. Change the Max value to your unsupported Firefox version (e.g 2.0)

Code:

              <!-- Firefox -->
        <em:targetApplication>
            <Description>
                <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
                <em:minVersion>0.7</em:minVersion>
                <em:maxVersion>1.6</em:maxVersion
            </Description>

6. Save and add the install.rdf back to the xpi archive.
7. Drag the xpi file into your Firefox window to install.
8. Enjoy!
