Firefox 2 + WDT

So I decided to install Firefox 2 RC2, and I like it a lot, only that some of my extensions no longer work, which is what I expected. But, one extentsion I really needed was the Web Developer Toolbar, I use it a lot. Because I really needed it, I downloaded the xpi file from the homepage, opened it in winrar, edited the maxVersion value in the install.rdf file, restarted, and w00t, it’s back. Am happy now, lol.

  1. Nice one Peter =) I like Firefox RC2, but I’ve noticed as of late (especially when I have firebug running), some pages like Myspace, Hotmail and Wordpress bring up errors every keystroke, and after typing a long passage, the frame rate is enormously slow. You can type a whole sentence and have to wait another 20 seconds before it all gets displayed - and it’s not crashing per se, as swapping to another window cancels your keystrokes and your computer starts running fine again. It’s an error somewhere that i’m sure will be fixed - but it’s a big reason really why I swapped from Maxthon to Firefox - because of the slowness of writing wordpress blogs with the RTE

  3. I never had that problem when I updated to FF2 RC2….. =/ Still, good move to fix it. =P I would have lived without it.
