How to Make Mozilla Firefox Add-ons Compatible with All Versions

Posted in Internet, Tips  by Lucas Artigas

If like me, you like to try newer versions or beta versions of Mozilla Firefox, you must have had the same problem I always have… add-ons (extensions) deny to work and tell you that "This add-on is for older versions of Firefox" even in the Mozilla Firefox add-ons site.

You know, I really love Firefox, and I also love to be up-to-date and the best for me is to try the latest version and take a look at what novelties it brings in the form of features, functionalities and improvements, even under the threat of being unstable. However, I also like that while I'm testing it I can continue using Firefox right in the way I'm used to. Here is where the first obstacle arises, older add-ons wont work. It mostly occurs because developers haven't updated the add-ons or failed to make the code compatible for the newer version accurately. Fortunately Firefox has a few options to get all those lazy extensions to work.

In the following paragraphs I'm going to share with you the way of doing that.

Lazy add-ons? Nightly Tester Tools will help you to wake them up
Nightly Tester Tools is a handy Firefox add-on that will help you to install and run an incompatible extension, it will also turn disabled extension into enabled. Read the rest of this entry »

Firefox 3.05 Security Update

Posted in Internet, News  by Ghacks

The following article about Firefox 3.05 Security Update is from our content partner Ghacks.
The Mozilla Firefox development team released version 3.05 of the popular web browser a day after the Opera team updated their browser. The latest update - like the Opera update - is considered a security update and therefor recommended to install as soon as possible to patch the security vulnerabilities.

A total of eight security vulnerabilities are patched in Firefox 3.05 including three critical vulnerabilities. Critical vulnerabilities are described as vulnerabilities that require "no user interaction beyond normal browsing".

The other security vulnerabilities are rated as high, moderate and low. Most Firefox users should already be able to check for a new update directly in their web browser by clicking on the Help > Check For Updates link in the main Firefox menu.

The alternative is to head straight to the Mozilla website and download the latest version of the Firefox web browser from there.

Five new languages (Bengali, Esperanto, Galicia, Hindi, and Latvian) have been added in this release as well. This is also the first release without an EULA during setup.

Firefox Geode - Always Know Where You Are

Posted in Internet, News  by Maya

Suppose that you’ve arrived in a new city, but you don’t really know where you are and are looking for a place to eat. You feel so helpless! But now you have no worry about it, this Tuesday Mozilla Labs released Firefox Geode which can automatically deduces your location, and serves up some delicious suggestions a couple blocks away and plots directions there.

Firefox Geode is an experimental add-on to explore geolocation in Firefox 3 ahead of the implementation of geolocation in a future product release.

It’s very easy to use Geode. When a web site requests your location a notification bar will ask how much information you want to give that site: your exact location, your neighborhood, or your city, which you can get many suggestions from. Furthermore, the potential is for more than just restaurant lookups. For example, imagine an RSS reader that knows the difference between home and work and automatically changes its behavior appropriately. Or a news site whose local section is, in fact, actually local. Or Web site authentication that only allows you to login from certain physical locations, like your house.

Future versions of Firefox plan on containing Geode, and now you can download Firefox Geode Here.
