FireFox 4.0 RC1 / beta and Delicious Addon workaround

Hi,

Just a short info how to use the current beta / release candidator of FireFox 4.0 and the Delicious.com Addon:

Install the delicious addon ( v2.1.106 )  even when it is “not compatible” with the current FireFox 4.0 RC1.

On Unix/Linux Environment:

Open a shell

cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/extensions/{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}

vi install.rdf

and change the following row:

em:maxVersion=”4.1″ />

Then startup Firefox and be happy ;-)

On MacOS Environment:

Open a shell

cd ./Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/*.default/extensions/\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9\}/

vi install.rdf

and change the following row:

em:maxVersion=”4.1″ />

Then startup Firefox and be happy ;-)

On Windows Environment:

go to:

C:\Users\*YOURUSERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*??????.default*\extensions\{2fa4ed95-0317-4c6a-a74c-5f3e3912c1f9}

where *YOURUSERNAME* is your login username and *??????.default* will be any curent random directory ending with .default.

There you will find a file called index.rdf

Edit this file with a nice Editor (NOT Notepad or Wordpad!) like “Super Notetab” ( http://www.notetab.com/ ) and change following row:

em:maxVersion=”4.1″ />

after that, restart your Firefox browser and have fun ;-)
