how to override Extensions compatibility ?

Post by jayden1 »

in about:config I've set these boolean values to false: extensions.checkCompatibility and extensions.checkUpdateSecurity but most extensions still returns this message:

by changing these setting mentioned above I was able only to install latest nightly build of adblock plus.

I know I'm using beta/ nightly builds and that these plugins may be really incompatible - but I want to install them and see if they can crash the browser or not.

You need to set the preference extensions.checkCompatibility.3.7a
For details see Extensions.checkCompatibility
