Their an easy fix to allow the down grade extension to work on FF5 while you wait for the new to come out.
Click onto tools and then click onto Adds-on.
At the top middle screen where you see the word about:addons, type in about:config click on the tab button.
Right click button on your mouse and select new and than pick boolean, enter the preference name to extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0 and then pick false and your done close the adds-on section and FF and run FF again.
Go back and check if your old extension set to enable while you wait for the new version become available
It’s strange that addons developers do not pay attention to Firefox updates… The FF updates are announced with a lot of anticipation… Can’t teams work together?
Trusteer Rapport doesnt work on FF5. Neither McAfee SiteAdvisor for “Security & Stability” reasons
But FF5 is even faster ((a bit more) than FF4.0.1 (may be due to those add-ons disabling:SiteAdvisor & PcTools BrowserDefender!) ;D
I have to dialog with network admins… believe me, they hate updates and increase of work… Yeah, they look for stability, so IE get the business market while we, users, like Firefox improvement
I think Bob3160 is perfectly right! Right to speak. FF5 is better without any extensions, still I feel more secure with some basic extensions like NoScript or AdBlock Plus. Only the basic ones should be added but then FF has always been “customizable”! ;D
