"Super DragAndGo" with FireFox 1.5+
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 11:27 am
[PROBLEM]
I couldn't find an update for my all-time-favorite extension "Super DragAndGo" after installing FireFox 1.5.0.1.
[SOLUTION]
Thanks to "open source" and those directions I got it working with 1.5+
Here's how:
1) Rename the .xpi to .zip and unpack it.
2) open "install.rdf" with a text editor.
3) change the maxVersion-tag to 1.5+ and save the file.
4) pack it as a new .zip and rename it back to .xpi
5) install and enjoy!
If there are no major interface incompatibilities with new FireFox versions, this little trick should work with other "discontinued" or outdated extensions, too.
