Unusually painless transition with only 2 incompatible add-ons but, then again, not much in the way of obvious change.

Are the add-on not working or is it just FF's stupid add-on checking that is failing.

I've installed again just out of curiosity. All my add-ons, except ABP and NoScript were incompatible ![]() Opened a new tab to post here and when I flicked back to check my facts, all but one were suddenly available if I restarted. The remaining one was suddenly OK when I tried to uninstall it Not good enough Mozilla. I shouldn't have to wonder what on earth has happened. It should be completely glitch free! |

They do work if I have add-on compatibility checking disabled but I'm not sure what are the potential ramifications of running FF that way.

As a beta tester I always run that way and have yet to find any issues.

again the same old problem with firefox, update the browser and add ons fail. it is a wonder the people who write the add ons don't get fed up of changing them just to work with e latest version of Firefox.
Switching off the compatibility checking will force add-on to load. |

The add-on installers have a min/max version number in them of the FF version the add-on has been tested for, just because the add-on has not been tried on a version of FF does not mean it will not work.
Switching off the compatibility checking will force add-on to load. Thanks ![]() P.S. Noise is anti Firefox or anything BT. He needs to open his mind up to other things. |

The add-ons that disabled when updating to V5 are now working on my computer. I just had to add a couple of lines in the config file and it is now totally disabled the add-on compatibility checker.

So where do I find the option to disable compatibility checking? There is no direct option, and I couldn't find anything in about:config.
Another annoyance is all the versions of the Java Console that build up without the option to delete the old ones, and that they are left enabled until you disable them manually. (I did see somewhere once how to get rid of the old versions, but I have forgotten. In any case, there should be an easier way.) |

Then to about:config add: extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0 Boolean with the value False |

Thanks. I didn't need to add that entry to about:config, though. Avast! Webrep just started working again by itself.
What amused me was that the compatibility add-on is by Mozilla, yet I got a warning dialog telling me to "install add-ons only from authors you trust", with the author shown as "not verified". You'd think that Mozilla would know how to sign their own software! |

Install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...orter/?src=api
Then to about:config add: extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0 Boolean with the value False I am confused. Not difficult to do that Whatever most add-ons work. At least the ones I use.

No it isn't. It may look the same to you, but there are a lot of changes under the hood. Look at the change log on the website if you don't believe me.
