Firefox incompatible plugins/add-on not working, Little Hack
- Goto the Extension download Page, Right click on the extension. then ” save link as” save it on desktop.
- Extensions in firefox have .xpi extension, change the extension from .xpi to .zip via renaming it.
- Now extract “install.rdf ” file from this zip file and open it in notepad.
- Search for following
<em:targetApplication><Description><em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id><em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion><em:maxVersion>3.7.*</em:maxVersion></Description>
</em:targetApplication>
- Now change value after <em:maxVersion>
new string would be<em:maxVersion>3.6.*</em:maxVersion>as you can see in the image its saying not compatible with 3.6. thats why i changed the value to the my current firefox version
- Now save the file and add it back to the zip file.
- rename it to .xpi.
- after this either drag it to the firefox or open this with from file->open file menu.
- it will install it and it will run successfully.
if any doubt please comment below
