Let Older Add-Ons Work With Firefox 3.0

mask.of.sanity informs us of a hack that allows old add-ons to work with Firefox 3.0. Short form: in about:config, create a new boolean and set extensions.checkCompatibility to false. "The fix, which requires a little boolean creativity, great for anyone not afraid of taking risks. The idea is to stop Firefox checking its version history, allowing defunct extensions to work... [Those who do] get the fix working will have to remove the code from the prefs.js file once the stable Firefox comes out, but will enjoy their [favorite extensions] in the meantime."

Re:Spill Chaker

You do realize that a spell checker would, at best, give you:

Too bud it doesn't work with the Google tool bur...Cause I rally lick the spill checker.

Even worse, the default spell checker (using the first option):

Thu bud nut enthused perk whiff huh Giggle towel bur...Cause I rally lick huh spill saker.

I think the first version was better than this...
