One of the add-ons still not modified to work with Firefox3 is Zombiekeys. But I found that this inconvenience can easily be fixed. Download the xpi, and open it in your favorite archive manager. Extract the file install.rdf and find the line in the Firefox section that reads:
2.0.0.*
Change the 2 into a 3 and save the file. Now update the xpi with your archivemanager by putting the modified install.rdf back into it. In Firefox open the xpi-file (File->Open File, or CTRL-O). Restart Firefox to enable the add-on.
Áwësômè trick – I have been waiting for this! Many thanks!!
First, I have had trouble finding the .xpi download, do you have a link to it? Second, I’ve never edited a code, which archive manager do you recommend.
Lastly, if it is just this simple fix to get it running on version 3, can you please just send the updated code to Mozilla so they can host it?
The XPI can be found here. There are plenty archive managers. On Windows 7-zip or Winzip or Winrar. On Ubuntu I just use what’s integrated in the explorer? It’s called archive manager (right-click -> open with archive manager).
I will not create an updated version for Firefox3 and put that on the net, since that would imply that it has been tested. It’s not. This is a workaround until the author fixes things.
Firefox 3 is now up to 3.0.1, so you need to change 2.0.0.* to 3.0.1.*
Thanks!
Correct. Changing it into 3.*.*.* also works, although I’m not sure if the plugin will work with versions above 3.0.x.x.
