Get Incompatible FirefoxAddons Working in Aurora andNightly Builds

Sometimes, I just feel, Firefox is a bit
too orthodox, you need to restart
after almost installing any add-on and the add ons that work in the stable version may not work in the newer beta versions.

Bloggers like me would definitely
want to try Aurora or Nightly builds
but actually none of the add ons work in these builds. But fortunately, there’s
a method to make any add-on work
even in testing builds of Firefox.

Making incompatible add ons work in Aurora and Nightly Initially, when you install Aurora or Nightly, it’ll check for compatible add
ons, if any. After installing, go to the
Add ons manager and it’ll show the
incompatible add ons there. Now, head on to Add ons store and
get the Add-on Compatibility Checker.

Install it and after restarting Firefox, it will start compatibility checking tests, and after the tests are over (takes not more than 10 seconds), you need to restart once again. Now, in the Add ons manager you can enable all the incompatible add ons You can also help the Mozilla team by sending them feedback about how the add on works in the testing versions of Firefox.

For that, click on Compatibility > Select between This
add-on still works and This add on no longer works. Do you use Firefox Aurora or Nightly?
