One can easily change it itself by editing maxversion in install.rdf in the .xpi file, then resaving the file and dragging it to Firefox.
or else, set extensions.checkCompatibility to false. This method is easy but there are drawbacks to it, however: it is global, and removes one kind of protection.

Any suggestions. Thanks. -SA Jack
It may be that the referenced .xpi only was updated for Firefox. There is seperate strings for Thunderbird and Firefox

It is in about:config (or, for Thunderbird, the Config Editor) and it doesn't exist by default (use Right-click => New => Boolean to create it).
If you do that, the version compatibility check will still be done (and its result, if negative, displayed in the add-ons manager) but it won't make the application disable any extension anymore. Of course, if there really is an incompatibility at the code level, all hell may break loose.
For those unwilling to do the .xpi -> .zip -> unzip -> edit -> zip -> .xpi hack, I've taken the liberty of replacing the last digit in each maxVersion listed in the .rdf file with a wildcard. You can download/install the totally unsupported hack from http://drop.io/keyconfig .

BUT I decided to try something else: I tried the "home" key as CMD+SHIFT+H (instead of the default CMD+H) and that worked. It seems, therefore, that the problem is with the control key.
But why would a Mac not let me use the control key? Strange...
Have you tried to Add a new key ( BrowserHome(); for Home) and assign a Ctrl combination to it? Does this also happen if you assign it to Ctrl+Shift+H or Alt+Ctrl+H? Does the History menu also light up if you assign it to Ctrl+E (or any other)?

Firefox notified me of the update shortly after it was released. However, for some reason Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 will not find this update, which is preventing me from upgrading to 2.0.0.17. Dorando, is this update for Thunderbird?

Version 20080929 was only marked as compatible with Thunderbird 2.0.0.17, the update should get found after you've upgraded.
var toolbar = document.getElementById("PersonalToolbar"); toolbar.collapsed = !toolbar.collapsed; document.persist(toolbar.id, "collapsed");
. Replace "PersonalToolbar" with "nav-bar" for the Navigation Toolbar, or "toolbar-menubar" for the Menu.
This set of code still works on PersonalToolbar( aka, bookmark toolbar). But it doesn't work on Menu bar after replacing Id. Don't know what about navigation bar ,because i don't wanna try .

Currently I do not know how to detect if the mouse hovers over a link from within a XULCommandEvent, but it seems XULBrowserWindow caches it, so try:
Note that due to bug 40838 it won't always work in Firefox 2 (it should work if the link is displayed in the status bar).
Then what is the code to copy link text when mouse hovers over a link? and what is the code to copy link text and location together when mouse hovers over a link with the form of "link text" - "link location"?
