ghacks.net— Firefox 2.0 disables all extensions that are not mentioned as compatible with 2.0 by their authors. Most should work with 2.0 though and the website explains how to make them all work in firefox 2.0.

when I tried it, some extensions worked, while my Web Developer extension simply made my status bar about 3 times taller than normal, but with no Web Dev functionality available. Adblock, and the Filterset.G extensions work with the Beta as-is - no mod's needed (at least they worked for me)
Trying to test out the new beta version of Firefox was always a pain....a real pain because all your extensions will become incompatible. Not anymore. Thanks kingsquest for posting this awesome way to make all extensions compatible.
Faster way: open the URL 'about:config' Right Click > New > Boolean > "extensions.checkCompatibility" set to False.Restart. Now it skips the checking. Works with all current development versions and the recent Alphas afaik.

Thank God. I've been trying to surf without my extensions today. I thought I was going to have withdrawals. Thank you for this Digg.

Well the extension itself makes itself compatible on newer versions of Firefox. It worked for Bon Echo that's for sure.

Worked for me. True, a few extensions worked without it, but I live and die by my extensions!
