For all of those who just downloaded Firefox 1.5 and can’t get your extensions to work. This is a simple modification of Firefox’s configuration to trick the extensions to work. No need to manually edit the extensions to get them to work. Currently all the extensions I use work except the bookmark sync extension that I so dearly want to.
- At the location bar, enter: about:config. This will show you a list of Firefox internal preferences.
- Right-click on the list, select New > String
Enter “app.extensions.version� (without quotes) for the preference name.- Then, enter “1.0� (without quotes) as the value for app.extensions.version.
- Restart Firefox 1.5, then enable those disabled Firefox extensions.
- Restart Firefox 1.5 again to active the extensions. Done.
Personally I think this is the best solution because you can always go back and delete the string later rather then fiddling with the extensions.
[UPDATE]
if you change 1.0 back to 1.5 Spoofstick [and potentially others] will continue to work and can also look for updates.
Thanks wgc
Just got excepted to the Yahoo! Publisher Network. It is similar to google adsense in that it puts relevant ads on the page but as you can tell it doesn’t, at least for now anyways.
And if you are reading this in RSS you should see an ad as well. I don’t know what it looks like yet but if … Read More »

…I took the opportunity over the past couple of days to stop in at various retailers in Southern New England to check out what people were saying about the Xbox 360. One thing I noticed was there is a large amount of incorrect information floating around regarding shipments of units. (One store (incorrectly) told me that ‘Microsoft won’t’ send us … Read More »

I always knew I was bad but this was horrible. And with all the traffic it was a real slap in the face.
I really don’t know what to do. Do I take a course? Do I just take 15-20 minutes a day reading a grammar book? All I know is I have to do something because my thoughts are … Read More »

“Defining a quality game as one rated better than 79% on GameRankings.com, Nintendo has released more quality games than Sony in the past six months by a ratio of nearly 3-to-1.”
2 Days and loving my DS.
Compared to the PSP: Raw power the PSP wins hands down, its graphics are jaw dropping but it seems like they don’t get it. All Sony does is put out these powerful machines with no backbone in sight. They don’t produce any noticeable games and all they can do is sign a deal with a big company to cock block the other hardware.
Nintendo gets it. Nintendo really seems to care: about their hardware and most importantly their games. People laughed when the designs of the DS came out, I sure did, but look at what has transpired in the games. Kirby, a game I would have never thought I would love, I love. Drawing on the screen to control every aspect of movement is genius, especially how they implemented it. They never cared about raw power like the rest. Look at the Gamecube even throughout all the heat for making it a non-DVD machine they stood their ground and said, we are making a gaming console not an entertainment machine.
