In the absence of updates from the author, you can 'bump' the extension yourself to enable it to work with any version of Firefox, and it does work with Namoroka & Minefield.
Here's how I do it (and many others).
This method involves modifying the extension itself. You have to change one value to allow your extension to install.
- Download the extension to your PC (You should end up with an *.xpi file)
- Open the downloaded *.xpi with any archiver (Winzip, Winrar, 7Zip etc.)
- Look for the file called
install.rdf- Open it with Notepad or similar (DO NOT use word, wordpad, etc)
- find the line that begins >
<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id> which is the Firefox ID and follow left to right until you find <em:maxVersion>*.*</em:maxVersion> (Where *.* is a version number)
- change the version number to the version of your updated Mozilla Firefox, (
3.8 will do it)
- Now save the install.rdf file and update the archive (Close and Save - DO NOT use any form of compression)
- You have now "bumped" the extension and it will now install and probably work again
- It has to be said that this method does not always work with all extensions, but it does with Update Notifier.
The same applies to Thunderbird users.
Thunderbird id > <em:id>{3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}</em:id>
It will look like this:
<!-- Firefox -->
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>
3.8</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>
