Make FireFox Addons Compatible

Right often we end up having to install new version of Firefox and some of our add-ons are not updated to that new version. Here I'll give you a tutorial on how to make them compatible with your new version..

1) Use any add-on.. For this tut I'll use Add 'N Edit Cookie:- https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/573
2) Use any other browser than Firefox to download it. It'll start downloading in .xpi format.
3) Change the format from .xpi to .zip
4) Open the .zip file using WinRAR, WinZIP or any other similar program. When you're viewing the archive, you'll notice several files. The one we need will be Install.rdf. Extract it.
5) Right-click on it and open it with any suitable editor. Lets say notepad.
6) Press ctrl+F to open the FIND dialg box. Type "maxVersion"
7) You'll see that the value of maxVersion will be 3.0. Change the 0 to 5. Save it.
8) Open your Firefox. press ctrl+O and open the add-on .xpi file. It'll install the add-on. Restart your Firefox and VOLIA!! You have it! Enjoy. ;)
