Firefox 3.6 out today

Anyone tried the Red Shift theme yet?

Also, I don't like the way that it opens new tabs. Can this be changed so it does it like 3.5.7?
 
Pfft lightweights!

It doesn't slow FF down and offers so much functionality!
 
Just that may not work for some extensions so you need to add a new Boolean entry with a value of False

Add:

extensions.checkUpdateSecurity

And make sure
extensions.checkCompatibility

Is false :)

Your Addons extensions page should show this at the top:

extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6

all set to false. The Add-ons page shows that add-on update security checking is disabled, and I may have incompatible add-ons. And the 5 add-ons I have that don't work still say 'Not compatible with firefox 3.6 and I can't enable them :(

Edit: Also tried downloading the latest Nightly Tester Tools (2.0.3) And that's saying its Not compatible with Firefox 3.6 as well.
 
Uninstall then reinstall them!

If all else fails force them via Nightly Tester Tools.
 
Right, I'll try reinstalling them. I've already tried the Nightly Testing Tools, but they aren't compatable with 3.6 apparently.
 
At the moment I'm really regretting going through with this update :(

I've got more addons not working than I do working. I've tried to fix All-in-One gestures by uninstalling/reinstalling it, then using a fix mentioned on the add-ons page about editing the install.rdf file to change the max version number, and installed it again. And it still won't enable. Nightly Tester Tools doesn't seem to be doing much, though admittedly I'm not entirely sure how to use it. Clicking 'enable' on any of the disabled extensions just does nothing. And strangely, clicking 'Disable' on any of them does the 'this addon will be disabled when firefox is restarted' routine, but when I restart Firefox its still enabled. Just without the image next to it, like with ChatZilla in the picture there.
 
It sounds like the extensions.* files in your profile are shot. Stop Firefox, move them out of your profile and restart it and it should regenerate them.

Perfect! Thanks a lot for the tip, its all working great now!
 
Installed this last night. Since then all it has crashed quite a few times the only addon I have installed is Adblock Plus.

Anyone else getting issues with 3.6 and Windows 7 64bit ?
