In addition, forcing an extension to work in Firefox 3 can cause compatibility problems, so use this at your own risk. Note that you may see "Does not provide secure updates" next to some extensions, and so they may not update in this way. The Nightly Tester Tools add-on can force Firefox 3 to use extensions, even if a newer, compatible version isn't available. It installs a new button on that screen: "Override all Compatibility." Click that button, and it will force Firefox to use your existing extensions. Install it, and select Tools/Add-ons to get to the Add-ons screen. If all that fails and you're feeling brave, you can download the Nightly Tester Tools add-on, which will force Firefox 3 to use your existing add-ons, even if newer versions aren't available. You can also select Tools/Add-ons, select each extension and click Find Updates. It's a good idea to check the Web site of each extension yourself to see whether a new version has been released. However, you don't have to count on the browser doing its work right. If there isn't one, Firefox disables the add-on. If there is, it offers to update the extension. Every time you launch Firefox 3, if it finds an incompatible extension, it checks to see if there's a newer compatible version. When you install Firefox 3, it will disable all of your extensions until the browser figures out if they're compatible or until a new version of the extension comes out. Not all existing extensions will work with Firefox 3. Here's where your upgrade may run into trouble. What will happen to my existing add-ons and extensions? After that, just click Next, and all the information will be immediately imported. All you have to do is select which you want to import. A page appears that lets you import cookies, bookmarks and browsing history, as well as your Internet options. Choose File/Import, select Microsoft Internet Explorer, then click Next. I use Internet Explorer and want to use the same bookmarks and browsing history in Firefox.
