When I know they were a couple dev builds ago.
It will bring up the warning about how bad doing that could be and all if I haven't checked to not show it again, but, once OK is pressed, nothing happens.
there are very very few extensions that this doesn't work on, but I've just finished using it a few times in the past couple of days including about an hour ago.

These same extensions I've made compatible many times over.
Basically, with Firefox 1.5.0.1, apparently, when I delete extensions.rdf in my profile and load Firefox, all the extensions which were Made Compatible before are once again disabled for compatiblity. Ones which I had manually changed the maxVersion are still there, of course, but Made Compatible extensions have to be Made Compatible over again.
So, I've done this a bunch of times since 1.5.0.1 came out.... Because I keep getting those annoying ghost extension entries, and, as of 1.5.0.1, I can't seem to ever get it to get rid of them by just reinstalling the extension, when I could about 95% of the time on 1.5.
Now, however, Make Compatible won't work on those same extensions.
Note that the only extensions I updated between the last time it did work and now when it isn't are MTLI (to current version), StumbleUpon (to its latest version), and Linkification (to its current dev build [that's the one that gave me the ghost entry (Linkification does almost every time...) that caused this most recent bout]).
Also note that it won't work in EM loaded in Sidebar, Window, or Tab.

the key to the ghost entries is to reinstall from the exact same location that caused the ghosting.
at this point make compatible might be getting confused with the ghost entries, not sure.

Hi, the autoarchive issue for Mac OSX from the previous (4.0+) thread seems to have mutated in 4.1.
Now, when I browse and select a folder, the field shows the simple, correct path. But when I try to archive an xpi, I get the "default path must be set for archiving to work" message. If I click OK and go to the browse for a path step, the previously set, correct path is still there. And if I install directly from a link, it installs fine, but is not archived.
I'm running Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1 - Build ID: 2006011112 with 10.2.8. Are you getting this with 10.4.4, OpenMacNews?

when i browse to select a real path for "Default install path for extensions", the field is populated, instead, with 'garbage', e.g.:
I get the same thing. I push the Browse button, select my folder, and the field fills with a long string of text. It didn't bother me at first, since it seemed to work fine, putting my .xpi files in the right folder. But sometimes, if I right click on a link and select "Archive XPI", I get a warning that I can't until I select an archive path. When that pane pops up, the field is filled with the correct path, but in plain text. Then I hit "Browse", etc.

Mel it won't install on Sunbird because it requires Sb 0.3.1 and (unless i've missed a release) the latest Sb builds (trunk nightlies) are 0.3a1+
