The browser might be ready but the add-ins are not. I just installed Unbuntu 8.04 Hardy and the FF v3 beta 4 worked great, however 70% of my add-ins didn't work. Including things like Filter-set G (must for add blocking), Tab Mix Plus and FoxMark book mark Synchroniser, CustomizeGoogle. Things I can't live without. SO I went back to FF2.
By the way you can have both installed and only minor problems using them with same settings. Don't launch at same time though
- papersmith 19y agoInstall Mr. Tech Toolkit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/421 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/421 Under "tools" in the extensions manager, there will be an option "make all compatible". It'll disable the compatibility checks. Works great for me so far.
- bstadil 19y agoThanks I will try that
- bstadil 19y agoIt didn't work. Not compatible with version beta 4
- papersmith 19y agoHmm, I must've installed it before the upgrade. See if you can install it on firefox 2, disable compatibility checks, then open firefox 3.
- papersmith 19y agoActually, try this instead: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543
- illicium 19y agoAlternatively, you can add a boolean "extensions.checkCompatibility" field in about:config and set it to false.
- papersmith 19y agoMuch more elegant solution, modded up! :)
- bstadil 19y agoI did that but it somewhat defeats the purpose of the whole thing. The problem is that some of the add-ins do NOT work with the beta version so overwriting the check is kind of an exercise in futility
