Five Firefox extensions that need to be updated
I, like most of the hard-core nerds on the interwebz, have upgraded to the beta of Firefox 3. This was initially supposed to be something I could play around with, while still using Firefox 2 for daily use. But I didn’t count on how amazing FFX 3 would be. It’s faster. MUCH faster. The new address bar is amazing. And I can’t go back to FFX 2. I can’t. This presents me with a few problems. Okay, one problem. One big problem. Extension support. There are far too many extensions that haven’t been updated to work with the newer version of Firefox.
Thankfully, a little extension called Nightly Tester Tools comes in to save the day in most cases. It forces extensions that aren’t yet compatible to work in newer versions of Firefox, including the latest nightly updates. Unfortunately, there are many extensions that won’t work, even with NTT installed. Extensions that I love and really, really hate doing without.
