Question: any downside to making this change? I’m guessing it won’t automatically stop old programs from being installed, so I’ll just have to “manually” decide whether to run the risk of installing an old program, but otherwise, no problem leaving the change; is that right?

And thanks!

I have several extensions that are incompatible with Firefox 3.0, but the uninstall button is disabled so I can’t remove them. Is there a trick for re-enabling the uninstall button?
Thanks.

This is nonsense, it is a good trick. It’s a really bad habit, to try to protect the user from himself. If he wants to do something risky, tell him it’s risky and let him choose but don’t treat him as if he were a kid.

This is not advisable, because it has the potential to make Firefox really unstable. Then Firefox gets a bad rap for something that is essentially not their fault. You could argue that the back door should not be there, but that is another story.

A really good trick! One of the reasons why I have not switched to FF3 is because I have some extensions that I can´t live without.
