In LA

I’ve been using Firefox 3 Beta for a while. I ride the bleeding edge because I like to keep huge numbers of web pages loaded into tabs¹, and for the way I work Firefox 3 is much much faster and less memory-intensive. But the caveat is that most of the Firefox extensions I use have not been updated to be compatible with Firefox 3 Beta. Many of these extensions likely would work fine in Firefox 3 Beta, but Firefox’s version-checking code looks at the extensions and only loads those that are listed as compatible.

I’m happy to note that I can now use most of my Firefox extensions that haven’t yet been updated to pass the version check, because there’s an easy way to disable Firefox’s version-check code and run all extensions with abandon. Hooray.

1. at the moment, I have a single browser window featuring 128 separate web pages open in tabs [↩]
