    As some people may have noticed Firefox 3 Beta 5 has been pushed to Foresight Linux 2 QA and will soon be default in Foresight Linux 2. The first thing that I noticed when I updated was that none of my extensions worked. After a few minutes of googling, I found that there are a couple ways to work around this. Some projects have development builds of their extensions that work with beta 5 and some don’t. For those that don’t you can try disabling extension compatibility checks. Note that both of these options are potentially dangerous and may cause firefox to become unstable. I disabled compatibility checks and downloaded the developer release of Tab Mix Plus, an extension that I can not live without. All seems to be working so far. Disabling compatibility checks: go to “about:config” in your address bar right click to get to New -> Boolean set extensions.checkCompatibility for the key and false for the value Developer versions that you might be interested in: Firebug TabMixPlus Thanks to the following two blog posts that were great resources. http://aralbalkan.com/1335 http://www.ilovebonnie.net/2008/04/22/finally-firebug-and-tab-mix-plus-for-firefox-beta/
