There's an extension for testing nightlies that allows you to enable previously disabled extensions...It's called "nightly tester tools" and you can get it here.<a class="user" href="http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/buildid/nightly.html">http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/buildid/nightly.html</a>Fair warning though- Enabling a disabled extension can cause you a great deal of problems. (Although I haven't seen any besides the Official Google Toolbar getting screwed up.)

This is not Beta1...just a nightly tagged as the beta1 in preparations for the release.

For both extensions and themes you can open them as a zip file and modify the install.rdf file. Change the maxVersion to 2.0 and it'll work. My nightly build from last week is version 1.6a1.

Apparently, the tree was locked down on September 6, 2005. Read about it here: <a class="user" href="http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7275">http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7275</a>So doesn't that mean that, unless there is some major issue, that code will be the final code for Firefox 1.5 Beta 1?I downloaded the nightly build labeled "firefox-1.4.en-US.win32.installer.exe 07-Sep-2005 02:27 4.9M"I installed it and the installer tells me "You are about to install Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1".Upon running, it ran a "Compatibility Updates" window for my extensions. It hung there for about 2 minutes so I canceled it.The start page is: <a class="user" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/alpha2.html">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/alpha2.html</a> "Deer Park Alpha 2 Start Page".But the title bar says "Mozilla Firefox Beta 1"The about box displays: "Mozilla Firefox version 1.5 Beta 1".
