A firefox extension has to indicate its supporting version of Firefox in its installing package. In this post I will show you how to force install an extension which does not support a new version of Firefox.
- In Firefox address bar input
- Add a new boolean type preference with value false
| No Format |
|---|
extensions.checkCompatibility.<version> |
Refer http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility for details.
Example for Firefox 5.0 | No Format |
|---|
extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0 |
- Then you can install extensions as normal and it will not complain about the version mismatch anymore.
| Note |
|---|
|
Successfully installing an extension does not mean the extension will work properly. |
