Make your extensions work with the latest vesrion of FF

Step 1 Download your extension to your hard drive. You know like: Right Click>Save As.

Step 2 Once downloaded go to the folder in which you saved the .xpi extension and open it. Choose WinRAR to open the file. If you already have this (.xpi) filetype registered with another program then use "Open With".

Step 3 Now extract the install.rdf file to your computer. Leave WinRAR open for later use.

Step 4 Now open the install.rdf with NotePad. You should see something like this:

Step 5 If you look closely above you will see the value <em:maxVersion>0.10</em:maxVersion>. So now all you need to do is change the 0.10 to whichever version you are using (or just put something like 1.9). After you changed the version number then save the file and close it.

Step 6 Go ahead and go back to the WinRAR window you left open and drag the newly modified install.rdf into WinRAR. You should now have an Archive Name and Parameters window pop up inside of WinRAR. Make sure Add & Replace Files is selected and hit ok. Exit WinRAR.

Step 7 Open that damn modified extension with FireFox and install.

Use at your own risk...It may not work will all the extensions.

Someone posted this on Mozilla.org, pre made fix of downTHEMall if you're lazier than hanek.

edit: It doesn't work entirely properly though - the download window won't show the status of the individual files like it should.
