6. NOW RESTART FIREFOX

Your addons would work perfectly now..:yes::yes: This could be a solution for those who do not update your Firefox because of the addon compatibility issue.

Please note that some of super older add-on might make your Firefox crash or have stability issue. But for addon that works on Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 should now work like a charm. So now there is no reasons for you to not update your Mozilla Firefox browser now..;):yes:

When firefox release a new version [firefox 8.x.x] simply create a new boolean with the new version number, Like this: extensions.checkCompatibility.8.x.x :yes::yes:
