If I (or another person offering a service like this on their own website) really wanted, it would be very easy to hack (edit contents of) an addon to corrupt it and install cookie stealing software, or some other malicious stuff that nobody would ever want. Keep in mind though that the IE Tab addon doesn't actually work using this fix. All this is done live, nothing is cached on the server, meaning you'll always get the newest version no matter what. When you search for IE Tab and click the URL, it will look like this: 1419In this case, 1419 would be your addon id, and putting that into the box below would initiate download of the edited IE Tab addon. Let's take IE Tab for an example (the addon that made me develope this). This will leads you to the addons own page. Search for your application you want to download HERE. If you use Firefox 3.6, it'll update the file to have '3.6.*' as maching version etc. It works using the install.rdf editing to match what your Firefox userstring is. I do not own the addons, I do not own Mozilla, the only thing I do is provide a quicker way of changing version in an application. This web application does exactly that for you, but so conviniently that you have absoloutly nothing to worry about with downloading, extracting, changing etc.ĭo please realise that it's very unsure whether or not an addon will work after doing this trick, as Mozilla might have changed how firefox works internally, and the developer will have to develope the tools. When new versions of firefox comes out, there's a lot of developers simply too lazy to bother to change their install.rdf file to include the newest version.

This web application will make sure that you're able to download any firefox addon you want, no matter your version or whether there's support for it. It's very annoying isn't it? In fact a lot of times it's very easy to fix, even though the developers are being lazy, or yourself don't want to mess with the addons.

That annoying error that comes when your favourite addons don't work in the newest installment of firefox.
