Comments on: How to force Firefox extensions to be “compatible” http://jkontherun.com/2008/06/05/how-to-force-fi/ Using mobile devices since they weighed 30 lbs.

Question: any downside to making this change? I'm guessing it won't automatically stop old programs from being installed, so I'll just have to "manually" decide whether to run the risk of installing an old program, but otherwise, no problem leaving the change; is that right? And thanks! This was simple and worked perfectly. Question: any downside to making this change?

I have several extensions that are incompatible with Firefox 3.0, but the uninstall button is disabled so I can’t remove them. Is there a trick for re-enabling the uninstall button?
Thanks.
