So yesterday, I installed FF1.5, and reported no issues. Upon further inspection, I noticed many, issues. Most of my extentions do not work. For the most part, that is not a big deal, as the extentions are conviences and I have faith that the writers will update them. One extention is a big deal to me: Spoofstick. I was very sad and dissapointed to find that extention broken as I use it frequently. But, I was very happy to find a fix on the Mozilla site. So, I thought I would share the fix with all of you.
This work around was posted in Print It! extension. I use WinRAR.
Right click on the install link for any extension you want and cselct save as.
Download the xpi.
Right click on the xpi and select open with WinRAR.
Then when WinRAR opens the file click the extract to button and it will extract all the files to a directory.
Open the install.rdf file in notepad.
The search the document for: < em : maxVersion>1.0+< / em : maxVersion> change the 1.0+ to 1.5+ and save the file.
Drag the install.rdf file from the directory to the open WinRAR window.
Close WinRAR. Right click on the xpi file and select open with FireFox.
Install the file like normal. This will work with nay extension.
Now, I don’t know if this is an okay thing to do or not, but I am going to post the modded xpi for spoofstick. If this is not okay, please leave a comment and I will take it down.
