Hi, Dennis. The Add-ons Manager already identifies the installed incompatible extensions even if compatibility checks are turned off. Each incompatible extension has an annotation of the form "Digger is incompatible with Firefox 4.0.1". Don't you see it?
Yes, it does, and brain fart on my end.
As it happens, I don't see it, but that's because I use custom CSS enabled with Stylish to provide a more compact Addons display. I can drill down for each listing to see compatibility, but the fact that it's theoretically incompatible doesn't show by default.
Also, the Is It Compatible? extension lists the compatibility range for each extension. It's not compatible with Fx 5.0 and newer, and I haven't tested it with those programs. If you want to check it out though, it may work.
Don't need it, and won't bother. I use Extension List Dumper to fill in another gap left by the demise of TT. It generates the same sort of customizable list of what I have installed that TT used to, and incompatible extensions are flagged in that list. It's broken in Aurora and Nightly - it's installed and present, but the Dump List button no longer appears in the Addons Manager. It still works fine in FF 4.01 and 5.0 beta, and since I use the same profile for all, I can dump a list from them when needed.
