Ever upgraded to the next version of Firefox and your add-on didn’t show up because it was marked “Not Compatible”? There is a very simple way to force your version of Firefox to accept the add-on even if it isn’t compatible.
There are a few reasons why your installed add-ons might get marked as incompatible. Sometimes the developer has not changed the install requirements to accept your version. Mozilla suggests to developers that they don’t mark it compatible until they KNOW it is compatible. So, many developers don’t mark their add-ons compatible with beta and alpha releases of Firefox. Another reason an add-on might not be marked as compatible is because it really ISN’T compatible. Running an incompatible add-on can corrupt data in your browser profile and other places on your computer so don’t force add-ons to work unless you are willing to deal with the risks.
FF 3.7a - aka Minefield
Firefox 3.7 Alpha is available for download for developers to try out but it is still very alpha. I love the humor that the Mozilla developers have as seen through the icon used for Firefox 3.7a. The developers have lovingly named the alpha “Minefield”. Love it! ; ) Still want to try it out? Download Firefox 3.7 Alpha
It is time to bring IE 6 to rest. The guys over at .net magazine have put together a campaign to bring awareness to everyone and we all hope that you will join up in the fight. If you are not sure if you are using the latest browser please just download the latest version of any one of the following browesers. Installing a new browser may be out of your comfort zone but it is something that just needs to be done because more and more websites aren’t looking the way they should because you are using an old browser (if you are using and old browser). And for those of you who are reading this who don’t know what a browser is… it is the program/ application you are viewing this webpage with.
This Warning applies to you if you are using an old browser!!
If you’re reading this, you’re surfing using Internet Explorer 6, an eight-year-old browser that cannot cope with the demands of the modern internet. For the best web experience, we strongly recommend upgrading to Firefox, Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, or a more recent version of Internet Explorer.
