Many of you have probably been wanting to use the new, faster and better looking Firefox 3 Beta, however it can’t use your favorite extension(s) and you’re stuck with Firefox 2. Thanks to this quick hack you can use the new FF3 Beta and still have your extensions.

1. Open about:config in the address bar.
2. Right click on the list and create a boolean: extensions.checkCompatibility
3. Set its value to false.

   While it would nice to wait for updated versions, this is a great way to use Firefox 3 and still use your favorite plugins.

   Thanks for this, I wanted to really test FF3 but without Firebug, I wouldn't touch it.
